Question

1. part b: which quote from paragraph 3 best supports the answer to part a?

a. \in 1887, the struggle for control of hawaii was at its height\

b. \they criticized his ties to men they believed to be corrupt,\

c. \the opposition used the threat of violence to force the kalakua to accept a new constitution\

d. \the new constitution, which effectively disenfranchised most native hawaiian voters,\

Explanation:

Assuming Part A focused on the loss of the Hawaiian monarchy's power to white business interests, this quote directly shows the coercive method used by the opposition to strip the monarchy of authority, which is the core action that enabled their takeover of control. The other options either set the scene (A), cite a minor criticism (B), or state a consequence of the constitution (D) rather than the key act that supports the power shift.

Answer:

C. "The opposition used the threat of violence to force the Kalakua to accept a new constitution"
