Answer 1

The statement "It may have been written by someone who benefited from this empire" best explains why a history of the British empire written in the 19th century might not be entirely accurate. This is because the author's personal biases and vested interests could potentially influence the way they present and interpret historical events, leading to a skewed or biased account of the empire's history.
