Answer 1

The following is accurate about the 115th House of Representatives:

• They were more African Americans than Non-Hispanic Whites in the House of Representatives
• There were 92 women in the House of Representatives

Answer: Option B and E

Explanation:

There were 92 women members in the house of representatives, out of which 67 are democrats,  including 3 of the delegates, and 25 are republicans, including 1 delegate as well as resident commissioner. And of the 23 women in the senate, 17 are democrats and 6 are republicans.

About 9.6% of the house of representatives are African Americans, and forty nine serve in the house, which include 2 delegates and 3 serving in the senate.

There are also 46 Hispanic members which is 8.5% of the total members of the house of representatives which is indeed a record number. Hence, the number of African American in the house is more than the non Hispanic whites.
