Answer
My best guesses;
1. a
2. d
3. d
4. d
But those are just guesses. Some of those answers are very closely related and it will depend on which history book you read. The questions are based on your book and I do not have it in front of me like you do. You had better look these up yourself.

Are you familiar with the architect I.M. Pei? He designed the glass pyramid entrance at the Louvre in Paris. Anyway, he has designed several buildings in Dallas, including the City Hall, the Morton Meyerson Symphony Center, and Fountain Place, all in downtown Dallas. City Hall is the oldest of these buildings and is open to the public. The Meyerson Symphony Center has tours, so you can check it out without seeing a performance.
Next to the Meyerson is a red brick church; this is the Guadalupe Cathedral Catholic church. Across Ross Ave. from the church is the JPMorgan Chase building, which is distinctive because it has a large rectangular hole passing through the top of the building. The floor immediately below this hole is called the Sky Lobby, and during business hours it is open to visitors (when they aren't having special events up there). You can go up and get a great view of the city for free! Just tell security that you would like to visit the Sky Lobby, and they'll direct you to the correct elevator.
Next door to the symphony center is the new Nasher Sculpture Center, and next door to that is the Dallas Museum of Art. Just west of the art museum is the end of a restored historic street car line (called the M-line) that runs north along McKinney Avenue past popular restaurants, including the Hard Rock Cafe. The M-line goes north to a new development called West Village which also has restaurants, shops, and a new art-house-style movie theater. The West Village is also a short walk from the Cityplace station on the DART light rail's Red Line.
Further north, at US 75 and Northwest Highway, is the world-class NorthPark Center, one of the first enclosed shopping centers in the U.S. NorthPark is home to the highest grossing Neiman-Marcus store in the world (Neiman's started in Dallas, and the original store is still open in downtown), plus a Nordstrom, Macy's, Dillard's, and a 15-screen AMC theater.
Be sure to visit some of Dallas's great Tex-Mex restaurants. My favorites are Mi Cocina and El Fenix. Both have multiple locations in the Dallas area; check the phone book or the Internet for the location closest to where you are staying.
I disagree with the responder who recommends Southfork Ranch. It's really not much of a tourist attraction; they use it for special events and conferences, so if you just show up there you won't find much to do except take a picture. I don't imagine it holds much interest for a 23-year old.
Also, Fort Worth has many interesting sights, but it is an hour drive west of Dallas. Just be aware of that when planning your activities.
