8 ss.912.a.4.2 (high)
which statement best describes actions of the filipinos toward the united states after the spanish - american war?
a they welcomed the opportunity to be a part of the united states.
b they worked with the united states to establish independence.
c they resented u.s. presence and fought for independence.
d they appreciated american efforts to improve their standard of living.

Explanation:

For question 7: The Open Door Policy (1899-1900) was designed to ensure equal trading access for all nations to Chinese markets, so American companies gained formalized ability to trade with China. Options A relates to the Spanish-American War, B to Panama Canal negotiations unrelated to the policy, and C is not linked to this policy.
For question 8: After the Spanish-American War, the U.S. took control of the Philippines instead of granting immediate independence, leading to the Philippine-American War as Filipinos fought against U.S. occupation to secure their independence. Options A, B, and D do not match the historical reality of Filipino resistance.

Answer:

1. D. American companies could trade with China.
2. C. They resented U.S. presence and fought for independence.
