Question

5 which claim would a british official use to defend a \protectorate\ using the logic of document a? a a. the local government is being completely replaced by british law. b b. the local ruler remains on the throne because the \superior\ race is providing \guidance\ rather than destruction. c c. britain is only interested in the biological extinction of the local people. d d. the local king has proven himself \fittest\ to rule without any outside help.

Explanation:

A protectorate system kept local rulers in place while the imperial power (Britain) exerted control, often justified by the idea of the imperial power as a "superior" force offering guidance. Option A is incorrect because protectorates did not fully replace local governance. Option C is wrong as Britain's goal was control, not biological extinction. Option D is incorrect because the protectorate model involved outside British involvement, not local rule without help.

Answer:

B. The local ruler remains on the throne because the "superior" race is providing "guidance" rather than destruction.
