Answer 1

The correct answers are A, B, and C. San Antonio was the first Spanish civilian settlement in Texas; it was halfway between missions in East Texas and the closest settlement in New Spain; and it was used as a rest station for traveling soldiers and missionaries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Father Antonio de Olivares established the city of San Antonio in 1718 when he established a Spanish expedition at the site. The Spanish government chose this place as a site for a settlement halfway between its missions in eastern Texas and its military stations in northern Mexico. Some members of the early Spanish missionary missions called this place San Antonio after St. Anthony.
