Answer 2

Answer:

Option a. The following statement best describes Marlow's point of view in the passage: He has no patience with the attitude that imperialism is about saving souls. He thinks the colonists are simply pursuing their own self-interests.

Explanation:

"Heart of darkness" is a novel written by Polish-British author Joseph Conrad that tells the story of Marlow, a sailor that takes a job with a Belgian trade company that sends him to Congo. During his trip Marlow discovers how the Company is forcing the native inhabitants of the region to work for them, under the pretext of "saving their souls". As the passage shows, Marlow not only has no patience for this attitude the company is taking with the African people, but also he decides to try to tell the native Africans how all of the Company's actions are purely done for an economical gain and nothing more.
