Answer 2

Millard Fillmore served as President of the United States from 1850 to 1853, after the death of Zachary Taylor.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term of Millard Fillmore as the President of the United States was from 1850 to 1853. Fillmore became president following the unexpected death of President Zachary Taylor, who passed away on July 9, 1850, from a stomach ailment. Thus, the correct answer to the student's question is option 2) 1850 - 1853. Millard Fillmore was involved in significant events during his presidency, including his support for the Compromise of 1850, which included the controversial Fugitive Slave Act. Fillmore did not win the nomination for the presidency in the following election and was succeeded by Democrat James Buchanan. This transfer of power is indicated by the presidential election of 1856, in which the victory of Buchanan marked the end of Fillmore's presidential influence.
