To determine which of the statements is true, it would be essential to have access to the specific map mentioned for accurate analysis. However, based on general knowledge about current global political geography and colonial histories, here is an evaluation of each statement:
1. **Many of Earth’s remaining colonies are landlocked or perforated.** – This could be true as some territories might be landlocked, but typically colonies are islands or coastal areas. It would need a specific map to validate.
2. **There are only two remaining colonies in the Southern Hemisphere.** – This statement does not seem accurate, as there are a few colonies in the Southern Hemisphere, including territories held by countries like the UK and France.
3. **Many of Earth’s remaining colonies are too small to be microstates.** – By definition, microstates are very small independent countries. Thus, by this definition, remaining colonies cannot be considered microstates. This statement may not be accurate.
4. **The United States and the United Kingdom are the largest remaining holders of colonies.** – This statement is likely true. The UK has several overseas territories, and the US has some territories as well.
5. **Historically, France was a significant colonial power, but it no longer has any colonies.** – This statement is false; France still maintains several overseas territories.
Based on this analysis, **the statement "The United States and the United Kingdom are the largest remaining holders of colonies" is the most likely to be true.**
