A. His racism prevents him from noticing the extent of cruelty and violence perpetrated on Africans.
B. White people never had the right to decide what should be accomplished in Africa.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. White people never had the right to decide what should be accomplished in Africa.

Explanation:

Modern readers, might say that the colonialists (or invaders) were never meant to dictate how Africa was supposed to behave, what kind of culture it was supposed to have or how its civilization was supposed to be. Marlow thinks that colonialism was supposed to have changed Africa for the better, but it was his own point o view of the better. Africans didn't have a saying in it, but in fact, Europe was not supposed to have a saying in how Africa is meant to be.

Answer 2

B. White people never had the right to decide what should be accomplished in Africa. (APEX)
