Answer:

The answer is:

D. US troops, following orders from President Polk, claimed an area of disputed land for the United States which caused an attack by Mexico in retaliation​

Explanation:

The major cause of the war was actually  the annexation of Texas by the US in 1845. Among tensions, skirmishes and a failed diplomatic mission, president Polk ordered American troops commanded by Gen. Zachary Taylor to occupy the disputed zone between Río Nueces and Río Grande (Río Bravo for Mexicans) in January 1846. Taylor´s men were attacked by Mexican troops in April killing or injuring 16 of them. Polk claimed Mexican soldiers had attacked US troops and "shed American blood upon American soil." He requested a declaration of war. Congress overwhelmingly voted to declare war on Mexico on May 13, 1846.

damaskus [11]

<u>Answer: </u>

The step of the listening process that involves assigning meaning to​ sounds, according to your own​ values, beliefs,​ ideas, expectations,​ roles, needs, and personal​ history is referred to as decoding.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • When we listen to something, our brain automatically processes the syllables and sounds to derive meaning out of them.
  • This action carried out by the brain is called 'decoding' which is a part of the process of listening.
  • The operation of decoding is supported by the knowledge that we already have about the syllables that fall on our ears.
