Question

Take up the White Man's burden Send forth the best ye breed. Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives’ need. To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild. Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child. Take up the White Man's burden In patience to abide To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple An hundred times made plain To seek another's profit And work another's gain Take up the White Man's burden— And reap his old reward: The blame of those ye better The hate of those ye guard— The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah slowly) to the light: "Why brought ye us from bondage, "Our loved Egyptian night?" Take up the White Man's burden- Have done with childish days- The lightly proffered laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise. Comes now, to search your manhood Through all the thankless years, Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgment of your peers! –Rudyard Kipling "The White Man's Burden" 1899 According to the poem, how are colonizers repaid by those they colonize? Check all that apply. They bear the blame for challenges. They are often hated by their subjects. They are rewarded with profits. They often go without thanks for their efforts. They are often held captive by their peers.

Answer 1

Kipling's poem suggests that colonizers receive blame, hatred, and lack of gratitude from those they colonize, without any mention of profit or captivity by peers.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden," colonizers are repaid by those they colonize with ingratitude and resentment. The poem outlines several responses from the colonized peoples: they bear the blame for challenges that arise, they are often hated by those they aim to help, and their efforts commonly go without thanks. The idea of earning profits is not mentioned as a repayment, and there's no indication that colonizers are held captive by their peers.
