Explanation:

Question 8:

Andrew Jackson's 1830 Indian Removal Act led to forced relocations (like the Trail of Tears). The other options: "Bank Veto" was about the national bank, "Spoils System" was about political appointments, and "Nullification Crisis" was about states' rights vs. federal authority. So the correct answer is d. Indian Removal.

Question 9:

France supported the American colonies in the Revolutionary War mainly to weaken their rival, Britain (due to long - standing Anglo - French rivalry). Promoting democracy was not a primary motive for France, gaining new territories in North America wasn't the main reason, and establishing a trade monopoly in the Americas was not the driving factor. So the correct answer is b. To weaken their rival, Britain.

Question 10:

Christopher Columbus's voyages (sponsored by Spain) were crucial in establishing Spain's dominance in the New World by opening up the Americas to Spanish exploration and colonization. Vasco da Gama explored routes to India, John Cabot explored for England, and Jacques Cartier explored for France. So the correct answer is b. Christopher Columbus.

Question 11:

Manifest Destiny was the ideology that justified the United States' expansion across the American continents, believing it was their "destiny" to spread across the continent. Isolationism is about staying out of foreign affairs, the Monroe Doctrine was about European interference in the Americas, and "Stars of Darkness" is not a relevant ideology here. So the correct answer is b. Manifest Destiny.

Question 12:

The U.S. Census Bureau declared the American frontier closed in 1890. This was based on the census data showing that there was no longer a distinct frontier line with unsettled land. So the correct answer is c. 1890.

Question 13:

"The Star - Spangled Banner" was written during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. The other forts (Ticonderoga, Garry, Necessity) are not associated with the writing of this anthem. So the correct answer is a. Fort McHenry.

Question 14:

John Locke is associated with the principle that government should protect life, liberty, and property (his version was life, liberty, and estate, which evolved into property). Baron de Montesquieu was about separation of powers, Thomas Jefferson was a U.S. founder who used Locke's ideas, and "Montesquieu" (if that's a typo) - the correct association is with John Locke. So the correct answer is b. John Locke.

1. d. Indian Removal
2. b. To weaken their rival, Britain
3. b. Christopher Columbus
4. b. Manifest Destiny
5. c. 1890
6. a. Fort McHenry
