Read the passage, then answer the questions that follow. 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. But that has changed. The United States, with all their vast territory, are filling up; and even now we hear of tens of thousands of emigrants leaving the United States in order to take up the fresh and rich lands of our colony in Canada. It seems to me not at all an impossible assumption that before the end of this present century we may find our fellow subjects beyond the seas as numerous as we are at home. –“I Believe in a British Empire,” Joseph Chamberlain Choose the type of evidence used in each statement. “In the United Kingdom there are some forty millions of us.” “The United States of America has offered a greater attraction to British emigration.” “men who themselves in their youth left this country in order to find their fortunes in our possessions abroad.”
