Answer 1

A. The U.S. acquired a large tract of land that is now part of at least seven states.

The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) resulted in the U.S. gaining significant territory from Mexico, which included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and parts of Colorado and New Mexico, as well as Wyoming. This land acquisition was formalized in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.
