Answers: a and d.
- a: Relations worsened after Huerta's 1913 coup and Wilson refused to recognize the new government, which increased U.S. involvement.
- d: The Tampico Affair (Mexican soldiers arrested U.S. sailors) helped trigger U.S. military action, including the 1914 occupation of Veracruz.
(b) is incorrect — Mexico did not need U.S. intervention to continue the conflict. (c) is misleading — U.S. forces intervened for specific incidents and to block arms shipments, not simply to install a preferred Mexican leader.
