Answer 2

The correct option is B: The label "natives" gives the citizens of an imperialist country a sense of superiority.

In Shooting an Elephant, the main character, a British officer is forced to kill an elephant that is wandering around Burma. The narrator claims that he only killed the animal because he felt under pressure by the crowd who expected him to do so. The British officer refers to the Burmese people as "natives" when describing how disrespectful and uneducated they are. He does so in order to convey that the locals are inferior to him and to his British fellow-men.
