Explanation:

First Question (Spanish - American War)

• For "Brought the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico under US control": The Treaty of Paris (1898) ended the Spanish - American War, and Spain ceded the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico to the US.
• For "Resulted in thousands of US combat deaths": Most US deaths in the Spanish - American War were from disease, not combat, so this is incorrect.
• For "Ended American expansionism": The war actually marked further US expansion, so this is incorrect.
• For "Was a victory for Spain": The US won the Spanish - American War, so this is incorrect.

• "Founder of the Rough Riders": Roosevelt was the founder of the Rough Riders.
• "Foreign Secretary of the United States": Roosevelt never held the position of Foreign Secretary. The US has a Secretary of State, not a Foreign Secretary in the same sense, and Roosevelt's roles were different.
• "Vice President of the United States": Roosevelt was Vice President under McKinley.
• "Assistant Secretary of the Navy": Roosevelt held this position.

Answer:

A. Brought the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico under US control
