• senator albert beveridge

according to the quotation, which identifies motives that drove united states’ expansion?
○ cheap land overseas and enslaving laborers
○ fewer trade opportunities and expanding tariffs
○ access to raw materials and spreading western culture
○ formation of new monopolies and eliminating naval bases

Explanation:

La cita de Senador Beveridge hace hincapié en el mercado ilimitado de China más allá de Filipinas, lo que sugiere que el motivo de la expansión estadounidense se centra en el acceso a materias primas y la difusión de la cultura occidental. Las otras opciones no encajan: "cheap land..." no se menciona, "fewer trade..." es contrario (se busca expandir comercio), y "formation of new monopolies..." no es el foco principal del discurso expansionista de Beveridge.

Answer:

Access to raw materials and spreading Western culture
