B. Claim new islands in the Pacific.

The Guano Islands Act (11 Stat. 119, enacted August 18, 1856, codified at 48 U.S.C. ch. 8 §§ 1411-1419) is a United States federal law passed by the U.S. Congress that enables citizens of the United States to take possession, in the name of the United States, of unclaimed islands containing guano deposits. The islands can be located anywhere, so long as they are not occupied and not within the jurisdiction of another government. It also empowers the President of the United States to use the military to protect such interests and establishes the criminal jurisdiction of the United States in these territories.

3. Why did other Native American nations fight with the English, against the French, in the Seven Years War? |​
mr Goodwill [35]
This close alliance, which was based on mutual respect and good treatment from both sides, led the natives to side with the french in their conflicts with the english settlers that came later in the 1600s and into the mid 1700s. Relations between the natives and english were not nearly as good.

Hope this help you :)
