"1. We ask absolutely complete political independence for Syria. 3. Considering the fact that the Arabs inhabiting the Syrian
area are not naturally less gifted than other more advanced
races and that they are by no means less developed than the
Bulgarians, Serbians, Greeks, and Roumanians at the begin-
ning of their independence, we protest against Article 22 of
the Covenant of the League of Nations, placing us among the
nations in their middle stage of development which stand in
need of a mandatory power."
Memorandum of the General Syrian
Congress, July 2, 1919
7. Which of the following can be inferred based on the

(B) Self-determination was only possible within the
secure context of an empire.
(C) Most Syrians in 1919 identified themselves as
French nationals.
(D) Arabs were no longer the majority in their own
homelands.

(A) Enlightenment ideals, such as self-determination,  had spread beyond Europe and the Americas.

Explanation:

Enlightenment ideas such as self-determination started in Europe and then spread to the Americas and led to the overthrow of kingdoms and colonial governments as natives wanted to rule themselves.

This excerpt shows that these ideas had spread beyond their epicentres of Europe and America to other areas which in this case is Syria. The Syrians were partitioning the League of Nations to grant them a right to rule their own selves showing that they subscribed to the enlightenment idea of self-determination.
