Answer:

To better understand the speaker's intentions.

Explanation:

When an author writes any text, he puts particular attention to his choice of words. He does so because he is aware of the fact that particular words have particular connotations and meanings. Therefore, he has to chose those that best suit his purposes. If the reader pays close attention to the word choice of the author, he will better understand the speaker's intentions.

Read the excerpt from "I Believe in a British Empire” by Joseph Chamberlain.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

A. Both conclusions wish other nations of the world well, but Chamberlain advocates imperialism, while Nehru advocates freedom for India.

Explanation:

Joseph Chamberlain's (8 July 1836 – 2 July 1914) concluding phrase <em>"future union with the British races throughout the world"</em>, the title of the text <em>"I Believe in a British Empire"</em> and the start of the text all show that Chamberlain is advocating British imperialism.

Jawaharlal Nehru's (14 November 1889 – 27 May 1964) <em>"the eternal and the ever-new, we pay our reverent homage and we bind ourselves afresh to her service</em>" and <em>"pledge ourselves to cooperate with them in furthering peace, freedom and democracy."</em> show that he is advocating freedom for India as well as democracy and peace.

Option B is not correct as Chamberlain says nothing about religion, is against separate England. And Nehru clearly demands freedom for India.

Option C is not correct Because Nehru says nothing directly about British people.

Option D is not correct because Chamberlain's text says nothing about peace, and Nehru's text nothing about competition.
