Question

which word best fits beveridges views in his speech?
a. generosity: he supported sending the filipinos money.
b. imperialism: he supported american control of territories.
c. christianity: he supported sending more missionaries.
d. abolitionism: he supported freedom for filipinos.

Explanation:

Beveridge was a pro - imperialist. His views centered around American expansion and control of territories (like the Philippines). Option A is incorrect as his focus wasn't on sending money. Option C: while missionaries were part of the imperialist narrative, the core of his view was imperialism, not just sending missionaries. Option D is wrong as he didn't support freedom for Filipinos but rather American control. So the word that best fits his views is Imperialism as he supported American control of territories.

Answer:

B. Imperialism: He supported American control of territories.
