It looks like you’re checking which of these were consequences of the Gulf War. Here’s each statement evaluated:

- Saddam Hussein fell from power. — False. Saddam remained in power in Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War; he was not removed until the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

- Bush’s popularity soared. — True. President George H. W. Bush’s approval ratings rose dramatically during and immediately after the war (peaking near the high 80s–90% in some polls).

- oil prices fell to an all-time low. — Misleading/mostly false. Oil prices dropped after the liberation of Kuwait as production resumed and the supply shock eased, but they did not fall to an all-time low; they simply declined from the wartime spike.

- Kuwaiti soldiers set Iraqi oil wells on fire. — False. Retreating Iraqi forces set fire to many Kuwaiti oil wells in 1991, causing major environmental damage; it was not done by Kuwaiti soldiers.

If you want, I can expand on any of these points or add other major consequences of the war (economic effects, sanctions, regional security changes, environmental damage, etc.).
