Answer 1

To best predict what could have happened if Article X had not been removed from the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the most accurate response would be:

Tejanos living in Texas would have been able to keep their land.

Article X originally contained provisions that would have protected the land rights of residents, particularly those of Mexican heritage (Tejanos) who lived in the newly acquired territories. Its removal led to widespread loss of land for these communities, so its inclusion might have helped them retain their land rights.
