Answer: Option D
:
D
The author cites examples of the atrocities committed by colonial regimes in order to show that the colonialists were worse than the communists and that Mr. Lindblad's theory about fighting against the communists could be validated if they had raised a word against the atrocities of the colonialists as well. But this was not the case. He says that the crimes done by the communists were not as severe as those by the colonialists. This is best expressed by option (d). Option (a) is partially correct but his main aim is to neutralize Lindblad's statements and not just compare. Options (b) and (c) are mentioned in the passage but are not correct in this context. Option (e) talks about finding motives which is out of the scope of the passage.
