5. The stanza from Kipling's poem is most closely associated with the belief that it was the duty of Western colonial powers to:

3) Civilize the people they controlled.

6. Based on this poem, Kipling would most likely have supported:
4) The British established English styled schools in India to teach Indian children.

The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the ideas expressed in the poem. Answer choice 1 (The British shared equal power with Indians in the colonial government in 1899) goes against the notion of superiority and dominance implied in the poem. Answer choice 2 (The British used child labor in textile factories in India) does not directly relate to the duty of Western colonial powers as expressed in the poem. Answer choice 3 (The British established coal mines and tea farms in India) focuses on economic exploitation rather than the specific duty of civilizing and educating the people.
