Explanation:

Question 5

To solve this, we analyze the context of the Santa Fe Expedition and President Lamar's expansionist policies. "Annex" means to add territory, which fits Lamar's goal for New Mexico. "Eliminate" and "preserve" don't align with territorial expansion.

The Santa Fe Expedition was unsuccessful. An unsuccessful military expedition would likely increase debt (due to costs). "Stopped immigration" and "eliminated slavery" are unrelated to the expedition's outcome, while "increased Texas’ debt" is a logical result of a failed expedition.

Answer:

C. annex
