Question

Though part of the French Empire, Tunisia was __________________ and retained power of local governing. a. a colony b. a protectorate c. a foreign entity d. a theocracy

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. a protectorate

That's when a country "protects" another country. In this case, Tunisia was bankrupt and France used the opportunity to invade it with its army. They established the French Tunisia protectorate where Tunisia was something like a colony and was under protection of France but they had to do whatever the French wanted.
