Explanation:

Question 4: Electoral College System

• Under the United States Electoral College system, the presidency is won by securing a majority of electoral votes (at least 270), not the national popular vote.
• A candidate can win the national popular vote (most votes from the people) but still lose the election if they do not reach 270 electoral votes (e.g., the elections of 1824, 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016).
• Therefore, the statement is True.

Question 5: Constitutional Amendments Matching

• Gave the right to vote to both free and enslaved Black people: 15th Amendment (prohibits voter discrimination based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude).
• Gave women the right to vote: 19th Amendment (prohibits voter discrimination based on sex).
• Prohibited the sale of alcohol: 18th Amendment (established the prohibition of alcohol).
• Outlawed Slavery: 13th Amendment (abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime).
• Changed the voting age to 18: 26th Amendment (lowered the voting age from 21 to 18).
