Question

read the excerpt from \i believe in a british empire\ by joseph chamberlain.
i believe in a british empire, in an empire which, though it should be its first duty to cultivate friendship with all the nations of the world, should yet, even if alone, be self-sustaining and self-sufficient, able to maintain itself against the competition of all its rivals.
read the excerpt from \a tryst with destiny\ by jawaharlal nehru.
to the people of india, whose representatives we are, we make an appeal to join us with faith and confidence in this great adventure. this is no time for petty and destructive criticism, no time for ill will or blaming others. we have to build the noble mansion of free india where all her children may dwell.
how is the emotional appeal in these arguments similar?
○ both appeal to a sense of national pride.
○ both appeal to a desire for independence.
○ both appeal to a desire to keep imperialism.
○ both appeal to economic prosperity.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first excerpt: Joseph Chamberlain's argument about the British Empire emphasizes its self - sufficiency and ability to compete, which taps into British national pride in their empire.
2. Analyze the second excerpt: Jawaharlal Nehru's "A Tryst with Destiny" is about building a free India, appealing to Indian national pride in their new - found independence and the future of their nation.
3. Evaluate the other options:

• Option 2: Chamberlain's argument is about the British Empire, not a desire for independence (the British Empire was already established and dominant). Nehru's is about Indian independence, but the commonality is not a desire for independence in the same way.
• Option 3: Nehru's argument is about building a free India, not about imperialism. Chamberlain's is about the British Empire, but the common appeal is not about keeping imperialism.
• Option 4: Chamberlain's argument is more about the empire's strength and self - sufficiency, not directly about economic prosperity. Nehru's is about building a free India, not primarily about economic prosperity.

Answer:

A. Both appeal to a sense of national pride.
