Hi there!

The answer is <u>D, The imperial powers believed that they were spreading a superior culture in Africa and Asia.</u>

The reason why the imperial powers believed that they were spreading a superior culture in Africa and Asia can be found in the text in phrases like <u><em>Send forth the best ye breed</em></u> which implies that they should send the best "breed" of people (which they consider to be white people), to be send to Africa and Asia to do services for a group of prisoners. Additionally, as we can see in the first lines of this poem, the writer capitalizes the words <em><u>white man</u></em> throughout the poem, giving us a clear idea of how superior they thought white men were.

Therefore, the answer to this question is option D. The imperial powers believed that they were spreading a superior culture in Africa and Asia.
