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.

Egypt is located in __the corner of the_____Northeast___east____________ Africa.
forsale [732]

Answer:

In Egyptian history, the Upper and Lower Egypt period (also known as the Two Lands) was the final stage of prehistoric Egypt and directly preceded the unification of the realm. The conception of Egypt as the Two Lands was an example of the dualism in ancient Egyptian culture and frequently appeared in texts and imagery, including in the titles of Egyptian pharaohs.

The O zmꜣ-tꜣwj (Egyptological pronunciation sema-tawy) is usually translated as "Uniter of the Two Lands"[1] and was depicted as a human trachea entwined with the papyrus and lily plant. The trachea stood for unification, while the papyrus and lily plant represent Lower and Upper Egypt.

Standard titles of the Pharaoh included the prenomen, quite literally "Of the Sedge and Bee" (nswt-bjtj, the symbols of Upper and Lower Egypt)[2] and "Lord of the Two Lands" (written nb-tꜣwj). (Queens regnant were addressed as "Pharaoh" and male.) Queens consort might use a feminine versions of the second title, "Lady of The Two Lands" (nbt-tꜣwj), Mistress of the Entire Two Lands (hnwt-tꜣwy-tm), and Mistress of the Two Lands (hnwt-tꜣwy).[3]
