The correct answer for 1 is a. Manila Bay was ruled by Spain, and the ships belonged to the Spanish

At the time, Philippines belonged to Spain so when the Spanish American War began naturally it was fought in the Philippines too. That's why it is said that the war was fought on many continents and was connected to Imperialism from both sides

The correct answer for 2 is that the United States could not annex Cuba.

This means that they could control the island and have their military their, but it was a free country with its own laws and the United States could not turn Cuba into one of the states in the United States of America. It has remained so up until this day and has never become a new state in the federation.
