Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: westward expansion policy and outcomes

Step 1: Analyze the first question (Santa Anna's capture)

The first question asks: "Santa Anna was captured in which battle during the Texas Revolution?"

  • Goliad: A battle and subsequent massacre of Texan soldiers, but Santa Anna was not captured here.
  • the Alamo: A famous siege where the Mexican army under Santa Anna defeated the Texan defenders; Santa Anna was victorious here and not captured.
  • San Jacinto: The decisive battle of the Texas Revolution (April 21, 1836) where General Sam Houston led a surprise attack on the Mexican forces. Santa Anna was captured the following day.

Therefore, the correct option is San Jacinto.

Step 2: Analyze Question 32 (William Lloyd Garrison's opinion)

The question asks: "What was William Lloyd Garrison's opinion of the constitution regarding slavery?"

  • William Lloyd Garrison was a prominent radical abolitionist.
  • He famously argued that the U.S. Constitution was a pro-slavery document, famously calling it "a covenant with death, and an agreement with hell" due to its compromises on slavery (such as the Three-Fifing Clause and the Fugitive Slave Clause).

Therefore, the correct option is that it was essentially a pro-slavery document.

Step 3: Analyze Question 33 (Statements regarding Santa Anna)

The question asks: "Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the well-known Mexican political leader Santa Anna?"

  • He was a dictator: True. He suspended the 1824 Constitution of Mexico and ruled with dictatorial powers.
  • He crushed political opposition in Mexico: True. He brutally suppressed federalist rebellions across Mexican states (such as in Zacatecas and Texas).
  • He worked to centralize the power of the Mexican government: True. He shifted Mexico from a federalist system (where states had power) to a highly centralized system (where power was concentrated in Mexico City).

Since all three individual statements are historically accurate, the correct choice is All of these.

Answer:

  • First Question: San Jacinto
  • Question 32: that it was essentially a pro-slavery document
  • Question 33: All of these
