Answer 1

The four that reflect an imperialist point of view are:

- “My country is better than all other countries.”
- “It is our duty to help civilize people less cultured than us.”
- “My country can benefit from the rich resources of other countries.”
- “God approves of my country’s plans to set up new colonies.”

These express beliefs in national/cultural superiority, economic exploitation, civilizing missions, and divine justification—key justifications used by imperialists.
