Pick an option
4. He would have been accepted by the Tejas, and the mission would have succeeded.
To determine the correct answer, we need to have some historical background on Antonio de San Buenaventura y Olivares and the context of building missions during that time.
Antonio de San Buenaventura y Olivares was a Spanish Franciscan friar who played a significant role in establishing missions in Texas during the 18th century. He is known for his efforts in establishing the Mission San Antonio de Padua (now known as the Alamo) in 1718.
In this specific scenario, if Antonio de San Buenaventura y Olivares had decided to start building a mission in 1709, we can make an educated guess based on historical knowledge.
Option 1 suggests that the mission would have failed due to resistance from the Tejas. We cannot discredit the possibility of resistance, as there were instances of indigenous populations resisting Spanish colonization during this period.
Option 2 suggests that Antonio de San Buenaventura y Olivares would have been accepted by the Tejas but the mission would still have failed. This option implies that although the Tejas might have welcomed his presence, some other factors could have potentially caused the mission's failure.
Option 3 suggests that there would have been resistance, but the mission would have ultimately succeeded. This option implies that the resistance faced by Antonio de San Buenaventura y Olivares might have been overcome, leading to the eventual success of the mission.
Option 4 suggests that not only would Antonio de San Buenaventura y Olivares have been accepted by the Tejas, but the mission would have also succeeded. This option implies that both acceptance by the Tejas and the success of the mission were highly probable.
Unfortunately, without more specific historical information or records about this hypothetical situation, we cannot definitively choose the correct answer. However, based on the historical context and understanding, option 4 seems to be the most optimistic and likely outcome, as it suggests both acceptance and success.
