Answer:

Designed to inflict punishment.

Explanation:

The word "punitive" means an act that is meant to punish, reprimand, or inflicted with some pain or revenge, etc. This means that it is more connected to the act of being punished or given harsh dealings.

In the given passage, the word "punitive" is used in such a way that it is suggestive of the punishment the British inflicted or want to inflict on the African nation. Britain organized an expedition with the intention of inflicting punishment as revenge for the killing of the British delegates in what is termed as the "Benin Disaster".

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

can someone give me a short summary of act 5 of romeo and juliet but from romeos perspective please ? QUICKLY
Simora [160]

Answer:

On Wednesday morning, on a street in Mantua, a cheerful Romeo describes a wonderful dream he had the night before: Juliet found him lying dead, but she kissed him, and breathed new life into his body. Just then, Balthasar enters, and Romeo greets him happily, saying that Balthasar must have come from Verona with news of Juliet and his father. Romeo comments that nothing can be ill in the world if Juliet is well. Balthasar replies that nothing can be ill, then, for Juliet is well: she is in heaven, found dead that morning at her home. Thunderstruck, Romeo cries out, “Then I defy you, stars”

He tells Balthasar to get him pen and paper (with which he writes a letter for Balthasar to give to Montague) and to hire horses, and says that he will return to Verona that night. Balthasar says that Romeo seems so distraught that he is afraid to leave him, but Romeo insists. Romeo suddenly stops and asks if Balthasar is carrying a letter from Friar Lawrence. Balthasar says he is not, and Romeo sends his servant on his way. Once Balthasar is gone, Romeo says that he will lie with Juliet that night.
