Read The Electoral College Explained, By Allyson Waller.
Why does having an Electoral College that determines the winner of a presidential election, rather than a popular vote, lead to "an
intense focus on key battleground states," according to Ms. Waller?
Answer:
The Electoral College is a group of electors elected by the state’s political parties. The key battleground states are those considered swing states, meaning that they usually have close contests between political parties in presidential elections.
Explanation:
This leads candidates to focus their campaigns on the states most likely get them the required votes.

“In the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. there hangs a quilt unlike any other in the world. In fanciful, inspired, and yet simple and identifiable figures, it portrays the story of the Crucifixion. It is considered rare, beyond price. Though it follows no known pattern of quilt-making, and thought it is made of bits and pieces of worthless rags, it is obviously the work of a person of powerful imagination and deep spiritual feeling. Below this quilt I saw a note that says it was made by “an anonymous Black woman in Alabama, a hundred years ago.” If we could locate this “anonymous” black woman from Alabama, she would turn out to be one of our grandmothers-an artist who left her mark in the only materials she could afford, and in the only medium her position in society allowed her to use.”
The quilt described in the passage above is symbolic of ____________.

Urgent If a coworker consistently questions Darias ability to do her job he is: -threatening her competence face -threatening her autonomy face -threatening her fellowship face -None of the above
Answer:
A. threatening her competence
Explanation:
Competence refers to a person's ability to discharge his duties well because he is skilled at his job. A competent person discharges his duties well and is excellent at his job. When a person is consistently accused at work for not discharging his duties properly, the accuser is pointing fingers at his competence.
So, when a coworker questions Darias' ability to do her job, he is threatening her competence.

Growth Mindset Math by Jo Boaler
Video 1: Jo Boaler discusses the brain and its ability to learn new information and how mistakes are a
huge part of that process. Her claim, through scientific research and data, is that the brain's synapses
grow when mistakes are made as opposed to the lack of growth that is made when a correct answer is
given. Based on this information, does this change the way that you might approach new tasks including
school? Explain your reasoning in a few sentences.
Answer:
Yes. It will definitely affect the way I approach new tasks. Based on this information, my approach to new tasks will definitely change. I will approach such tasks not with the fear of making mistakes but rather doing it to the best of my ability knowing that I will be corrected when I make a mistake. Also, it makes me attempt new topics in school and stand up to answer questions in class with the knowledge of being corrected when I'm wrong.
I strongly believe that such will enable me to learn and get better both in class and in life.

Juno Reaches Jupiter
adapted from NASA
After an almost five-year journey to the solar system's largest planet
, NASA's Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter's orbit during a
35-minute engine burn. Confirmation that the burn had completed was received on Earth at 8:53 p.m. PDT, Monday, July 4, 2016. Juno's
principal goal is to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter. With its suite of nine science instruments, Juno will investigate the existence
of a solid planetary core. It will also map Jupiter's intense magnetic field, measure the amount of water and ammonia in the deep atmosphere,
and observe the planet's auroras. The mission also will let us take a giant step forward in our understanding of how giant planets form and the
role these titans played in putting together the rest of the solar system. As our primary example of a giant planet, Jupiter also can provide critical
knowledge for understanding the planetary systems being discovered around other stars.
Answer: junos principal goal is to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter
Explanation:
I had it on Plato as well and like you I looked up the answer and only found this so I got it right and here you guys go :)
The sentence that most importantly expresses the central idea of the passage is " Juno's principal goal is to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter".
What was the mission of NASA's Juno spacecraft to Jupiter?Juno's primary objective is to discover more about Jupiter's origins and evolution.
Juno's initial mission concluded in July 2021, however, it has been given an extended mission that will expire in 2025.
Juno was dispatched to investigate a theory concerning the development of big planets as well as their role in the genesis of the solar system.
Jupiter has absorbed the most mass from the Sun. Juno studied heavy elements that are no longer in the Earth's system but were present during its genesis.

Write 2 of your a paragraphs and incorporate them into an essay. ( "essay "about how do we use algebra in everyday life? , and how are phones a great tool for marketing?)
Answer:
Mathematics is the key to opportunity. No longer just the language of science, mathematics now contributes in direct and fundamental ways to business, finance, health, and defense. For students, it opens doors to careers. For citizens, it enables informed decisions. For nations, it provides knowledge to compete in a technological community. To participate fully in the world of the future, America must tap the power of mathematics. (NRC, 1989, p. 1)
The above statement remains true today, although it was written almost ten years ago in the Mathematical Sciences Education Board's (MSEB) report Everybody Counts (NRC, 1989). In envisioning a future in which all students will be afforded such opportunities, the MSEB acknowledges the crucial role played by formulae and algorithms, and suggests that algorithmic skills are more flexible, powerful, and enduring when they come from a place of meaning and understanding. This volume takes as a premise that all students can develop mathematical understanding by working with mathematical tasks from workplace and everyday contexts. The essays in this report provide some rationale for this premise and discuss some of the issues and questions that follow. The tasks in this report illuminate some of the possibilities provided by the workplace and everyday life.

Contexts from within mathematics also can be powerful sites for the development of mathematical understanding, as professional and amateur mathematicians will attest. There are many good sources of compelling problems from within mathematics, and a broad mathematics education will include experience with problems from contexts both within and outside mathematics. The inclusion of tasks in this volume is intended to highlight particularly compelling problems whose context lies outside of mathematics, not to suggest a curriculum.
The operative word in the above premise is "can." The understandings that students develop from any encounter with mathematics depend not only on the context, but also on the students' prior experience and skills, their ways of thinking, their engagement with the task, the environment in which they explore the task—including the teacher, the students, and the tools—the kinds of interactions that occur in that environment, and the system of internal and external incentives that might be associated with the activity. Teaching and learning are complex activities that depend upon evolving and rarely articulated interrelationships among teachers, students, materials, and ideas. No prescription for their improvement can be simple.
This volume may be beneficially seen as a rearticulation and elaboration of a principle put forward in Reshaping School Mathematics:

"Remarks to the Senate in Support of a Declaration of Conscience:" What is most likely the speaker’s reason for including the fifth paragraph in her speech?
Options:
a) The speaker praises the Senate for being such a fine deliberative body.
b) The speaker is too critical of the Senators.
c) The speaker thinks the Senators should be exempt from punishment.
d) The speaker appeals to a sense of honor before criticizing the Senators for destroying people’s reputation.
Answer:
d) The speaker appeals to a sense of honor before criticizing the Senators for destroying people's reputation.
Explanation:
Indeed, we can make this conclusion because we note the sense of honor expressed in her words,
"I speak as a Republican. I speak as a woman. I speak as a United States Senator. I speak as an American.
The United States Senate has long enjoyed worldwide respect as the greatest deliberative body in the world."
Then she started making criticisms of the Senators for destroying people's reputation,
"But recently that deliberative character has too often been debased to the level of a forum of hate and character assassination sheltered by the shield of congressional immunity..."
Subject, predict, prepositional phrase in this sentence
Mr. William Herring is the jollies man I know
Answer:
Mr. William Herring - subject
Is the jolliest man I know - predicate
Explanation:
The subject is what the sentence is about.
The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.
The subject of the given sentence is Mr. William Herring. The rest of the sentence, is the jolliest man I know, gives us information about him. This is why that is the predicate.
There are no prepositional phrases in the given sentence. A prepositional phrase is a group of words that consists of a preposition, its object, and words that modify the object. An example of a prepositional phrase is: He is sitting on a chair.

Using sports as subject matter, write a sentence that has an introduction and an interruption in addition to the main part?
Answer:
The practice of sports should be done to stimulate benefits in the body and therefore it should, with some exceptions, be practiced frequently and with an intensity that gradually increases.
Explanation:
The introduction of the sentence presents the reason why the practice of sports should be encouraged in an individual's life. Right after the introduction, an interruption is made through the "with some exceptions" part, which is separated from the main part of the sentence by commas.
The interruption is a sentence, or a word, that interrupts the flow of thought that the sentence was establishing. In the case of the question above, the interruption shows that there are exceptions to the duty to exercise frequently.
