Answer 7

Not quite. Recall, that imperialism is basically extending influence via diplomacy or via conquest. And conquest and exploration is related to...colonization, right?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

So what answer is this line of thinking more similar to?

Answer 10

It's not really that small. It's spoken in many places in the world because it's an international language, it's used in the country's that has alot of wealth such as America , Australia and England itself. People have grown to use it everywherre because it's spoken in some popular countries

Answer 11

and i said answer c

Answer 12

or a

Answer 13

Well, I mean, England is only small in comparison to other countries in the world, like Russia. But the correct answer, in this case, would be A.

The reason why C is not correct is because tourism doesn't necessarily mean that more people are going to be inclined to speak your language. For example, the Egyptian pyramids are an important tourist attraction but this doesn't necessarily mean that I know Arabic if I visit.
