These nations colonized parts of Africa, China, India, and the Middle East. As a result, Europeans were able to extend their cultures to these lands.



Using the reading as a guide, which two developments are most likely the result of the British colonization of India?

Group of answer choices

English is one of the official languages in India.

India is a democratic nation with a parliament.

India is geographically diverse and vast.

Most people in India follow the Hindu religion.

Answer 1

The two developments most likely the result of the British colonization of India are:

1. English is one of the official languages in India.
2. India is a democratic nation with a parliament.

These developments are directly tied to the legacy of British rule, which included the introduction of the English language and the establishment of parliamentary systems in various forms. The other options—India's geographical diversity and the predominance of Hinduism—are not directly due to British colonization.
