"Take up the White Man's burden Send forth the best ye breed– Go send your sons to exile To serve your captives' need To wait in heavy harness On fluttered folk and wild– Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half devil and half child. Take up the White Man's burden In patience to abide To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple An hundred times made plain To seek another's profit And work another's gain" Rudyard Kipling, British novelist and poet, "White Man's Burden," 1899 1.

"Is this Chinese immigration desirable? I think not; and, contrary to the expressed opinions of many of the public prints throughout the country, contend that it ought not to be encouraged. It is not desirable, because it is not useful; or, if useful at all, it is so only to themselves–not to us. No reciprocal or mutual benefits are conferred. In what capacity do they contribute to the advancement of American interests? Are they engaged in anything that adds to the general wealth and importance of the country?... Under the existing laws of our government, they, as well as all other foreigners, are permitted to work the mines in California as long as they please, and as much as they please, without paying anything for the privilege, except a small tax to the States.... The Chinese are more objectionable than other foreigners, because they refuse to have dealing or intercourse with us; consequently, there is no chance of making any thing of them, either in the way of trade or labor. They are ready to take all they can from us, but are not willing to give anything in return." Hinton Rowan Helper, American author, The Land of Gold, 1855 1.

Among other things they are taught that they will be defiled if they eat any part of a cow. By this defilement they will meet with much contempt from their fellows, and will suffer much after their death in another world. The bulk of the army in India was composed of Hindoos, and it happened that an improved rifle had lately been invented for the use of the soldiers, and that the cartridges used in this rifle required to be greased, in order that they might be rammed down easily into the barrel. The men believed that the grease used was made of the fat of cows, though this was not really the case. There was, therefore, much suspicion and angry feeling among the native soldiers, and when ignorant men are suspicious and angry they are apt to break out into deeds of unreasoning fury. The danger was the greater because a great many of the native princes were also discontented. These princes governed states scattered about over India, though they were not allowed to make war with one another. Many of them had governed very badly, had ruined their subjects by hard taxation, and had spent the money they thus obtained in vicious and riotous living. The English Government in India had interfered with some of these, and had dethroned them, annexing their territories to its own, and ruling the people who had been their subjects by means of its own officers. The consequence was that some of the princes who had been left in possession of authority thought that their turn would come next, and that they too would be dethroned before long. These men were therefore ready to help against the English, if they thought that they had a chance of succeeding." Gardiner's English History for Schools, account of the Indian Revolt of 1857, found in an English textbook edited for American students, 1881 1.

(A) The cooperation between native rulers and colonial authorities (B) The stable positions of colonial governors as a result of imperial policies (C) The rise of anticolonial movements due to questions about political authority (D) The economic benefits of cooperation with imperial governments 2. The anger of Indian soldiers described in the passage resulted from which of the following?
