Question

unit 1 quiz #1-mwh why did many members of mexico’s elite class support the mexican revolution? they wanted fairer distribution of land they wanted to reduce foreign control of mexican business. they wanted greater social equality.

Explanation:

To determine why Mexico's elite class supported the Mexican Revolution, we analyze the options:

• Option "They wanted fairer distribution of land": The elite typically had large landholdings, so fairer land distribution would not align with their interests.
• Option "They wanted to reduce foreign control of Mexican business": Foreign control (e.g., by the U.S. and other foreign entities) threatened the economic interests of the Mexican elite. Reducing foreign control would protect their business interests, so this is a plausible reason for their support.
• Option "They wanted greater social equality": Greater social equality would likely involve redistributing wealth and power away from the elite, which is against their interests.

Answer:

B. They wanted to reduce foreign control of Mexican business (assuming the middle option is labeled B; adjust label based on actual numbering, but the content is "They wanted to reduce foreign control of Mexican business")
