		B) The imperial powers feared that the colonies would take revenge for years of conquest and try to conquer them back.
		C) The imperial powers feared that migrant workers would make the imperial powers weaker because they are lazy workers due to drug use.
		D) The imperial powers feared that migrants would encourage the use of cheap drugs in the metropole instead of more expensive drugs, thereby “damaging” the imperial powers’ reputation.
