Question

read the passage written by british imperialist cecil rhodes.
\i contend that we are the first race in the world, and the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race... if there be a god, i think that what he would like me to do is to paint as much of the map of africa british red as possible.\
according to this passage, which best describes rhodes’s view of british imperialism?
it is britain’s duty to spread european ways and customs around the world.
it is britain’s duty to send manufactured goods to africa.
the british should be embarrassed by their dreams of a colonial empire.
god is opposed to the colonization of africa.

Explanation:

Cecil Rhodes claims the British are the "first race in the world" and that it is right (even divinely intended) to take over as much of Africa (and the world) as possible, which aligns with spreading European/British ways globally. The other options contradict his stated views: he does not see the empire as embarrassing, he frames God as supportive of colonization, and his focus is on territorial control, not just sending goods.

Answer:

It is Britain's duty to spread European ways and customs around the world.
