Question

How do paragraphs 7-8 contribute to the overall structure of the article?

Answer 1

Answer: D. They reveal that Belgium had false motivations for colonizing Africa.

Possible Answer: A. They reveal the central goal of European colonies in Africa.

Explanation: Paragraph 7 explains how Leopold plans of “abolishing slavery” and “establishing harmony” was all a scam. Leading to paragraph 8 revealing that Leopold was only focused on his personal business venture. D sounds like it’s the correct answer because his motivations were false, but the other European colonies were also focused on growing their power, so A could possibly be the correct answer too.
