Read this excerpt from "The White Man's Burden" by Rudyard Kipling: Take up the White Man's burden- And reap his old reward: The blame of those ye better, They hate of those ye guard- Which statement best describes Kipling's point of view in this excerpt?

A. Colonial powers are disliked by the people they help .

Explanation:

Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden" is a response for the outcome of the Spanish-American War where the US tried to gain control over the Latin countries of South America. This war then led to the US-Philippine War where America tries to gain access to hold the Philippine nation under its control.

By using the common phrase of "the White Man's burden", Kipling alludes to the act of the US in trying to 'colonize' the Philippines just like the historical colonizers have done, with the aim of "civilizing" them. But this justification of imperialistic ambitions could only lead to suffering for the people. He successfully pinpoints the fact about colonial rule, stating that "Take up the White Man's burden- And reap his old reward". But this reward is only "blame" and "hate", thus resulting in a negative outcome of the process. For no one likes to be under anyone's power, which America has experienced too, ironically.  

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
