Resposta esperada

Colonial policies implanted English through administration, law and schooling in regions such as North America, South Asia and parts of Africa, creating institutional footholds that outlasted empire. Later, globalization—trade networks, aviation, mass media and the Internet—expanded English's practical reach and standardized some varieties internationally. Colonial rule established regional Englishes and official functions; globalization increased everyday use, mobility and global prestige. Both forces are essential, but colonization was decisive in creating the initial political and educational structures that allowed English to persist locally, while globalization amplified and internationalised its dominance.

Explicação

A resposta apresenta uma análise clara e estruturada, abordando tanto os impactos das políticas coloniais quanto os efeitos da globalização na disseminação do inglês. Ela utiliza exemplos de diferentes continentes para ilustrar como cada fator contribuiu para a presença do idioma. Além disso, a conclusão estabelece uma hierarquia entre os fatores, argumentando que as políticas coloniais foram fundamentais para a criação das bases que permitiram a continuidade do inglês.
