Afort guarded by a spanish captain and soldiers to protect the mission and its people?

The correct answer is "Presidio".

Summary: Spanish colonization had three clear and defined goals in the current territory of the United States:  

1. Discover gold and silver deposits.

2. Convert the Indians and native tribes to Christianity.

3. Protect the Spanish missions and settlements against pirates, hostile Native Americans, as well as colonists from France and England.

This third goal was the ultimate aim of the presidios.

b. after i get up in the morning,

explanation:

after is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a time clause. time clauses are dependent clauses used to indicate when something happened.

the clause "after i get up in the morning" tells when the action in the main clause (drinking a cup of coffee) happens:

"after i get up in the morning, i drink a cup of coffee." it is the most logical choice of all.

the correct answer is ''the programs costs have risen dramatically in the recent past'' hope this !
