Answer
T
The US made the Gadsden Purchase.
T
The US received payment from Mexico for Texas.
M
Mexico won the Mexican-American War.
M
Mexico paid the US for the Mexican Cession.

Explanation

In 1853, the United States made the Gadsden Purchase, acquiring land from Mexico in what is now southern Arizona and New Mexico. The Mexican-American War ended in 1848, when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo transferred the Mexican Cession to the United States and the US paid Mexico. Thus, the other choices either describe events from 1848 incorrectly or say Mexico won the war.
