Explanation:

1. For "explain": We need to find the phrase that matches its meaning. But looking at the options, the first phrase "an American Indian tribe led by a central figure" doesn't fit. Wait, maybe we misread. Wait, let's check each word:

• "explain": Wait, no, the words are "explain", "assimilate", "appropriate", "conquer"? Wait, the top words: "explain", "assimilate", "appropriate", "conquer" (maybe the image has these words). Then the bottom phrases:
• "an American Indian tribe led by a central figure" – maybe for a word like "tribe" but no. Wait, "assimilate" means to encourage or force someone to adopt aspects of a new culture? No, "assimilate" is to absorb into a culture. Wait, the second phrase: "the system that forced American Indians to support Spanish missions" – maybe "encomienda"? No, the words:

Let's re - evaluate:

• "explain": No, the correct matches:
• "assimilate": to encourage or force someone to adopt aspects of a new culture (wait, the phrase "to encourage or force someone to adopt aspects of a new culture" should match "assimilate".
• "appropriate": (to use something selfishly or for one's own gain) – that's the meaning of appropriate (in the sense of taking for oneself).
• "conquer": No, the phrase "an American Indian tribe led by a central figure" – maybe "cacique"? But the word "explain" – no, maybe the words are "cacique", "encomienda", "assimilate", "appropriate".
• "cacique": an American Indian tribe led by a central figure.
• "encomienda": the system that forced American Indians to support Spanish missions.
• "assimilate": to encourage or force someone to adopt aspects of a new culture.
• "appropriate": to use something selfishly or for one's own gain.

So the matches are:

• explain: Wait, no, the top words are probably "cacique", "encomienda", "assimilate", "appropriate" (maybe the image had a typo or mislabel). Assuming the top words are "cacique", "encomienda", "assimilate", "appropriate":
• cacique: an American Indian tribe led by a central figure.
• encomienda: the system that forced American Indians to support Spanish missions.
• assimilate: to encourage or force someone to adopt aspects of a new culture.
• appropriate: to use something selfishly or for one's own gain.

If the top word is "explain", there's no match, but likely a mis - labeling. So correcting:

• cacique: an American Indian tribe led by a central figure.
• encomienda: the system that forced American Indians to support Spanish missions.
• assimilate: to encourage or force someone to adopt aspects of a new culture.
• appropriate: to use something selfishly or for one's own gain.

Answer:

• explain: (No correct match from given phrases, likely a mis - word. If we assume the top words are as corrected)
• assimilate: to encourage or force someone to adopt aspects of a new culture
• appropriate: to use something selfishly or for one's own gain
• cacique: an American Indian tribe led by a central figure
• encomienda: the system that forced American Indians to support Spanish missions

(Note: The original image might have had word - phrase misalignments, but based on common historical terms, the above are the correct matches.)
