Which two groups battled for control of the mexican government after the nation gained independence?

a)royalists and vaqueros

b)empresarios and hectares

c)karankawa and tonkawa

d)federalists and centralist

d)federalists and centralist

Explanation:

The post-independence period of Mexican history was very turbulent and volatile, both politically and economically. In 1833, Valentin Gomez Farias carried out more liberal reforms, which sparked a revolt in conservative circles that led to the dissolution of the first federal republic and the creation of the first centralist republic.

General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana proclaimed in 1835 the so-called Seven laws, thus provoking separatist reactions in multiple departments. Separatist uprisings were largely stifled except in Texas, which declared its independence in 1836 and was subsequently annexed by the United States. In 1841, Yucatan also declared its independence. It was not until 1848 that he again became part of the Mexican state.

what are the answer choices?

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
