In the passage, the factor supporting the two-party system is winner-takes-all elections (C).

In the United States, 48 states and the District of Columbia have the winner-takes-all rule for the Electoral College. In these states, whichever canidate recieves a majority of the votes or the candidate that has less than 50% of the votes, but still more than any other candidate, takes all of the Electoral votes. This means that if someone got 10% of the votes, they wouldn't be represented in the Electoral College.

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).
