Answer

La línea que refleja la ironía de la oferta de ayuda a los habitantes caucásicos es la **A "We will administer by the Bureau of Caucasian Affairs."** (Administraremos a través de la Oficina de Asuntos Caucásicos).<br /><br />La ironía reside en la creación hipotética de una "Oficina de Asuntos Caucásicos". Históricamente, fueron los nativos americanos quienes fueron sometidos a la administración de una oficina gubernamental (la Oficina de Asuntos Indígenas), no al revés. La idea de una oficina similar para los caucásicos invierte la dinámica de poder histórica y pone de manifiesto la injusticia y la condescendencia con la que se trató a los nativos americanos. Las demás opciones no presentan esta misma inversión irónica de roles y poder.<br />
