Explanation:

1. Analyze "America utilized naval blockades as a tactic in the Caribbean but not the Pacific": The map (especially the Caribbean one) shows American naval blockade, but the Pacific map (like Manila Bay) also had naval actions, so this is incorrect.
2. Analyze "American forces made direct attacks on Spanish possessions": Both Pacific (e.g., Philippines) and Caribbean (e.g., Cuba - related areas) had American direct attacks on Spanish - held territories, so this is correct.
3. Analyze "The navy faced defeats in both the Caribbean and Pacific": The maps show American victories (e.g., Spanish fleet destroyed in Pacific, naval successes in Caribbean), so this is incorrect.
4. Analyze "America had victories in both the Pacific and the Caribbean": The Pacific map shows Spanish fleet destroyed (American victory), and the Caribbean map shows American naval and military successes, so this is correct.
