Read the excerpt from Joseph Chamberlain’s speech "I Believe in a British Empire.”

But the Empire is not old. The Empire is new—the Empire is in its infancy. Now is the time when we can mold that Empire and when we and those who live with us can decide its future destinies. Just let us consider what that Empire is. I am not going tonight to speak of those hundreds of millions of our Indian and native fellow subjects for whom we have become responsible. I consider for the moment only our relations to that white British population that constitutes the majority in the great self-governing colonies of the Empire. Here in the United Kingdom there are some forty millions of us. Outside there are ten millions of men either directly descended from ancestors who left this country or more probably men who themselves in their youth left this country in order to find their fortunes in our possessions abroad. How long do you suppose that this proportion of population is going to endure? The development of those colonies has been delayed by many reasons . . . but mainly probably by a more material reason—by the fact that the United States of America has offered a greater attraction to British emigration.

Which statement best evaluates the effectiveness of the evidence supporting Chamberlain’s claim?

The evidence is effective because Chamberlain provides data showing that there are more white British people than there are native subjects.
The evidence is ineffective because Chamberlain says that there are hundreds of millions of native subjects but refers to ten million whites as the majority.
The evidence is effective because Chamberlain uses logical reasons to explain why white British people in India should remain the majority in that country.
The evidence is ineffective because Chamberlain relies on emotional appeals instead of facts to explain the benefits of imperialism.
