Question

Using the wall map, identify which U.S. territory acquired during the Spanish-American War is directly east of the Philippines and is home to an important U.S. air and naval base?

A.
Guam

B.
the Virgin Islands

C.
Puerto Rico

D.
American Samoa

Answer 1

The answer is GUAM, because it says it in the history textbook.

Answer 2

The answer is A: Guam

Guam was acquired by the U.S during the Spanish-American war. Puerto Rico was as well, but Puerto Rico isn't east of the Philippines and it isn't a military base, but Guam is. So Guam would be the answer.

Hope this helps!
