Explanation:

To determine the true phrases about the Electoral College:

1. "elects the president": The Electoral College is responsible for formally electing the U.S. president.
2. "is the second step in the process of electing the president": The first step is the popular vote, then the Electoral College votes.
3. "puts the people a little further away from directly electing the president": The Electoral College means the president is elected by electors, not direct popular vote.
4. "elects the vice president": The Electoral College also votes for the vice president.

False phrases: "is made up of college professors" (electors are chosen by parties/states, not professors) and "is made up of average people" (electors are often party - affiliated or chosen for the role, not just average citizens).

Answer:

• elects the president
• is the second step in the process of electing the president
• puts the people a little further away from directly electing the president
• elects the vice president
