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.

If, then, consequently
ExtremeBDS [4]
A cause and effect organizational structure is the most likely to use the transitional words "If/then" and "consequently."

Look at this example:

If I get my homework done, then I can go to sleep.

The cause in this statement is "getting my homework done." The effect from getting my "getting my homework done" is "I can go to sleep."

The same is with "consequently." Using the same example with different transitional words:

I got my homework done; consequently, I can go to sleep.

Again, the cause is "getting my homework done." The effect is "I can go to sleep."

Therefore, the terms "If/Then" and "consequently" show that the organisational structure of the writing using those terms is cause and effect.

The answer is C.
