Brazil and Puerto Rico are not correct. The correct answer is Cuba and Puerto Rico.
To determine the answer to this question, we need to analyze the given information about the former Spanish and Portuguese colonies of the Americas.
Between 1808 and 1826, all of the former colonies achieved independence, except for two colonies. The options provided are Cuba and Venezuela, Haiti and Puerto Rico, Brazil and Mexico, and Cuba and Puerto Rico.
To find the correct answer, we need to identify which two colonies did not achieve independence during this time period. Using this information, we can eliminate the options one by one.
Starting with the first option, Cuba and Venezuela, we need to check whether both of these colonies achieved independence between 1808 and 1826. Cuba did not achieve independence from Spain until 1902, so it is a viable candidate. However, Venezuela did achieve independence before 1826, so this option is not correct.
Moving on to the second option, Haiti and Puerto Rico, we need to check whether both of these colonies achieved independence between 1808 and 1826. Haiti did achieve independence from France in 1804, which fits within the given time frame. As for Puerto Rico, it remained under Spanish rule until 1898, so it did not achieve independence between 1808 and 1826. Therefore, this option is correct.
Skipping to the last option, Cuba and Puerto Rico, we know that both of these colonies did not achieve independence between 1808 and 1826. Therefore, this option is correct.
In conclusion, the correct answer is Cuba and Puerto Rico.
