Question

1. in 1845, texas became the 28th state after what action of the united states?

they created a legislative assembly there.
they annexed the territory.
they stole the territory.
they set up an autocratic government in the territory.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Created a legislative assembly" is about governance setup, not statehood via territorial addition.
• "Annexed the territory" matches Texas's 1845 statehood: the US annexed Texas (previously an independent republic), leading to it becoming a state.
• "Stole the territory" is inaccurate (Texas sought annexation).
• "Set up an autocratic government" is incorrect (US is democratic, and this isn't how statehood occurred).

Answer:

B. They annexed the territory.
