Question

a german officer was on the train with us, and i asked him if germany had anything to do with this deportation, for i thought it was the most brutal thing that had ever happened. he said: \you cant object to exiling a race; its only the way the turks are doing it which is bad.\ he said he had just come from the interior himself and had seen the most terrible sights he ever saw in his life.
—treatment of armenians in the ottoman empire
what can be inferred about the german officers point of view, based on this passage?
○ he opposed both the exile and the genocide of the armenians.
○ he believed that exiling an ethnic group was justified.
○ he believed that germany should support the genocide.
○ he was indifferent to the acts of genocide that he had witnessed.

Explanation:

The officer states that exiling a race is not something one can object to, only criticizing the Turks' method of carrying it out. This directly shows he views the act of exiling an ethnic group as justified. The other options are incorrect: he does not oppose exile, he does not advocate German support for the genocide, and he is not indifferent as he notes the terrible sights he saw.

Answer:

He believed that exiling an ethnic group was justified.
