1. The correct answer is c. people who were. To get the answer, read the sentence carefully and consider the grammar and context. "People who were" is the correct phrase to indicate individuals who were affected by colonialism.
2. The correct answer is b. 1, 2, 4, 3. To determine the most logical sequence of sentences, analyze the information in each sentence and how they connect. In this case, sentence 1 introduces the topic, sentence 2 provides important geographical context, sentence 4 mentions the Berlin Conference (which connects to the next sentence), and sentence 3 states that no Africans attended the conference.
3. The correct answer is c. yet. To identify the best word to replace "but," consider the meaning and contrast between the phrases before and after "but." In this context, "yet" effectively conveys the contrast between colonialism's direct effects and its lasting impact.
4. The correct answer is a. no change. To determine the best word choice, consider the context and meaning of the sentence. "Ruin" effectively counters Hall's and Albion's position on colonialism because it suggests negative consequences and destruction.
5. The correct answer is c. Kenya--contained. To improve clarity and indicate the boundaries of the territory, using a dash (--) is the most effective option.
6. The correct answer is d. stolen. To convey that African farmers lost their land involuntarily and against their wishes, the word "stolen" effectively captures the negative and unfair nature of the transfer.
7. The correct answer is a. No change. To maintain the logical flow and meaning of the sentence, no change is needed.
8. The correct answer is b. which managed the country from afar. To clarify the meaning and provide additional information about the legislative council, using "which managed the country from afar" is the most appropriate choice.
9. The correct answer is d. Omit the underlined portion. To improve clarity and avoid repetition, it is best to omit the underlined portion, as the information is already mentioned earlier in the sentence.
10. The correct answer is B. African leaders were often selected to rule in favor of European interests. To determine the most logical flow, consider the information provided in the preceding sentence. The mention of Africans serving in the war effort for the British government suggests a connection to African leaders being selected to rule in favor of European interests.
