A: No, John Wilkes Booth did not plan his escape carefully. He encountered so many mishaps because he was driven by pure anger and emotion.

Answer:
Alexander Hamilton was the force behind the project, and was responsible for recruiting James Madison and John Jay to write with him as Publius. Two others were considered, Gouverneur Morris and William Duer. Morris rejected the offer, and Hamilton didn't like Duer's work. Even still, Duer managed to publish three articles in defense of the Constitution under the name Philo-Publius, or "Friend of Publius."
Explanation:
The dispute surrounding assigning the border at the Río Grande or at Nueces River, coupled with the U.S. annexation of Texas in 1845, set the Mexican-American War into motion. This slice of land between the Río Grande and the Nueces River is called the Trans-Nueces, which you can see in the middle of the two yellow lines in the center of the map on the left. Lasting from 1846-1848, the Mexican-American War ended in the Mexico-U.S. border being set at the Rio Grande and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. As part of the Treaty, Mexico lost a devastating 55% of its land to the U.S., giving both countries the border we recognize today. Well, for the most part.

Answer regarding a cause of tension leading into World War II:
C. Japan began establishing an empire by attacking and conquering its neighbors.
Context/detail:
The conflicts that became part of World War II actually began earlier than the 1939 start of the war in Europe. In Asia, Japan was beginning its imperial conquests before Hitler and Germany began expanding into Czechoslovakia and invading Poland. Japan invaded the Chinese territory of Manchuria in 1931.
The League of Nations condemned Japan in 1933 for the events in Manchuria, but that did little to stop Japan. Japan withdrew from the League of Nations at that time, and by 1937 began further invasions into Chinese territory. Japan's imperial ambitions even reached the point of genocidal acts such as the massacre at Nanking in 1937-1938.
When Japan moved into French Indochina in 1941, the USA froze all Japanese financial assets in the USA and placed an embargo on all oil and gasoline shipments to Japan. The Japanese viewed the embargo as an act of war, and their attack against the US at Pearl Harbor was (from their viewpoint) a response to US trade sanctions against them.
