How was a successor to Muhammad chosen?

First: a successor for Muhammad had to be chosen, because none of his sons survived to adulthood, so a hereditary succession was not in question.

A successor to Muhammad (or generally a religious and political leader) is called caliph. The first caliph was chosen by recommendation from many of Muhammad comrades, most notably by Umar (who was a caliph later), and it was Abu Bakr.

The choice was disputed and some believed it should be Ali should be the rightful successor.

In general, the successor was chosen by recommendation from others and choice among the leading figures.

President Wilson's appearance in front of the Congress asking for the declaration of war against Germany in hopes that they could influence the terms of the postwar peace settlement.
He proclaimed that the world must be made safe for democracy, to fight for the right of those who submit to authority to be their voice in their governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations and for the safety of all nations and make the world itself free.
The U.S. Senate then voted in favor of war with 82 votes to 6 and two days later the House of Representatives also voted in favor with 373 votes to 50. This solidified and announced the participation of the United States into the First World War.

The answer is Santa Anna because, <span>On February 23, a Mexican force comprising somewhere between 1,800 and 6,000 men (according to various estimates) and commanded by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna began a siege of the fort. The Texans held out for 13 days, but on the morning of March 6 Mexican forces broke through a breach in the outer wall of the courtyard and overpowered them. Santa Anna ordered his men to take no prisoners, and only a small handful of the Texans were spared. One of these was </span>Susannah Dickinson<span>, the wife of Captain Almaron Dickinson (who was killed) and her infant daughter Angelina. Santa Anna sent them to Houston’s camp in Gonzalez with a warning that a similar fate awaited the rest of the Texans if they continued their revolt. The Mexican forces also suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of the Alamo, losing between 600 and 1,600 men.</span>

For sure, choose these two:
<span>A) Was crowned pope on Christmas day, A.D. 800.
C) Became the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
</span>
Item B has some vagueness and difficulty to it. Depending on your teacher's point of view, it could be marked true or not. How "vast" is vast? How unified must an empire become to be termed "united"? One biography report of Charlemagne states, "Charlemagne attempted to create unity and harmony" within his realm -- that's probably a better way to put it. In his ongoing battles with the Saxons, getting them to accept Christianity was a great difficulty.
