Is this right?
The correct answer is:
• France created schools to assimilate willing Indigenous peoples, while Australia took children to forcibly assimilate Indigenous.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the differences between French and Australian assimilationist policies. The question states that we are looking for a difference, so options 1 and 4 can be ruled out since they state that France and Australia used the same policies.
Option 3 states that France promoted the idea of scientific racism, while Australia rejected it in favor of social Darwinism.
