Correct. The answer is a. Patterson’s testimony expressed skepticism about MacArthur’s intention to oversee the establishment of republican self-government in the Philippines, suggesting that the United States intended to rule as a “foreign and superior power” and that the violent occupation would leave few Filipinos alive to govern themselves.

Correct. The answer is d. The burning of villages and killing of civilian Filipino women and children described by General Hughes were tactics very similar to those used by the U.S. military in its wars against the Native Americans in the late nineteenth century. In both cases, the tactics were justified by the assumption that the victims were “uncivilized” people.

Correct. The answer is c. The testimony reveals that, although U.S. leaders justified their intervention in the Philippines with republican rhetoric, their actions in the region made territorial acquisition a higher priority than protecting human or natural rights.
