Based on the essay shooting an elaphant what does orwell most likely believe

D. An imperialist country isn't in control because the colonized people force it to meet certain expectations.

Orwell sees imperialism as tyranny. Based on the essay, "Shooting an Elephant," Orwell most likely believes an imperialist country is not in control because the colonized people force it to meet certain expectations. This is evidenced in the following lines where he describes the tyrant (or imperialist ruler) : "For it is the condition of his rule that he shall spend his life in trying to impress the ‘natives,’ and so in every crisis he has got to do what the ‘natives’ expect of him. He wears a mask, and his face grows to fit it."
