No problem, I'm here to help! Let's break down each question and figure out the answers together:

11. The Spanish established outposts in the Southeast to:
To determine the correct answer, we can eliminate the options that seem less likely.

a. Trade with Native Americans: This is a possible reason as the Spanish were known for their exploration and trade with indigenous populations.
b. Encourage Spanish immigration: This is a possibility but it seems less likely as the question specifically asks about the purpose of the outposts.
c. Search for precious metals: This is a possibility, as the Spanish were known for their search for gold and other precious metals in the New World.
d. Protect its trade routes: This is a possible reason as the Spanish would want to protect their trade routes from rival powers or pirates.

To find the correct answer, we need to consider the historical context and the Spanish exploration and colonization patterns. Given the options, the most logical answer would be a. trade with Native Americans, as the Spanish established outposts to establish trade networks and exploit the resources of the New World.

13. One thing a person could do in 1900 but not in 1865 was:
To find the correct answer, we need to compare the events and advancements that occurred between 1865 and 1900.

a. Ride on a train: This is a likely possibility, as the development of railways expanded significantly during this period.
b. Sew a dress: Sewing was a common activity in both periods, so this option does not fit.
c. Play a phonograph: The phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877, so it would be possible to play a phonograph in 1900 but not in 1865.
d. Read at night: This option seems less likely as lighting solutions such as candles or oil lamps were available in both periods.

From the options provided, the most fitting answer would be c. play a phonograph, as it was an invention that emerged after 1865.

15. In battles in the East, McClellan was best known for his:
To determine the answer, we need to consider General George B. McClellan's role and strategies during the American Civil War.

a. Caution: This is a possible characteristic of McClellan, as he was often criticized for being overly cautious.
b. Wise strategies: While McClellan had some strategic skills, his overall strategies were not considered exceptional.
c. Bold attacks: McClellan was not particularly known for his bold or aggressive attacks.
d. Use of technology: McClellan did encourage the use of new technology and innovations in warfare, but this was not his primary distinction.

Given the options, the most accurate answer would be a. caution, as McClellan was known for his cautious approach to military operations.

I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
