The Congo Free State (French: État indépendant du Congo, lit. "Independent State of the Congo") was a large state in Central Africa from 1885 to 1908, which was in personal union with the Kingdom of Belgium under Leopold II. Leopold was able to procure the region by convincing the European community that he was involved in humanitarian and philanthropic work and would not tax trade.[2] Via the International Association of the Congo he was able to lay claim to most of the Congo basin. On May 29, 1885, the king named his new colony the Congo Free State. The state would eventually include an area about the size of the present Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Leopold's reign in the Congo eventually earned infamy due to the increasing mistreatment of the indigenous peoples. Leopold extracted ivory, rubber, and minerals in the upper Congo basin for sale on the world market, even though his nominal purpose in the region was to uplift the local people and develop the area. Under Leopold II's administration, the Congo Free State became one of the greatest international scandals of the early-20th century. The report of the British Consul Roger Casement led to the arrest and punishment of white officials who had been responsible for killings during a rubber-collecting expedition in 1903.

In discussing questions of policy, how should time be divided among the points of need, plan, and practicality?.
topjm [15]

A time should be divided among the points of need, plan and practicality based on the level of knowledge that the listeners have about each point.

<h3>What does discussing of policy entails?</h3>

These discussion involves a group of people in a firm or public that are required to debate or ask important question during the formation of a policy that will guide them.

Hence, the time on the discussion is expected to be divided among the points of need, plan and practicality depending on the level of knowledge that listeners have about each point.

Therefore, the Option B is correct.

Missing options <em>"Each point should be one-third of the presentation. It depends on the level of knowledge that listeners have about each point. Need should be the primary point and be given most time. All three points should be summarized quickly to allow time for discussion."</em>
