Q1. In the concluding argument of the essay, Gardiner suggests that ordered liberty and a civilized social life depend chiefly on ____.
- A. Each person's willingness to restrain selfish desires out of regard for others
- B. The complete abolition of all personal freedom
- C. Everyone behaving in exactly the same way in every matter
- D. Strict laws imposed and enforced by the state alone
Solution
The essay concludes that civilized liberty depends on people voluntarily restraining their selfish desires out of regard for others, not on external force alone.
Q2. Why does Gardiner treat the rule of the road as a fitting symbol for life in society, and not merely as a traffic regulation?
- A. Because it shows that freedom survives only when people willingly accept small restraints for the common good
- B. Because it proves that governments must control every part of citizens' lives
- C. Because it shows that rules matter more than freedom itself
- D. Because it demonstrates that true liberty is impossible in a modern society
Solution
The essay argues that freedom survives only when people accept small, shared restraints for everyone's common good.
Q3. Which of the following is NOT presented in the essay as an example of the abuse of liberty?
- A. The old lady walking down the middle of the road
- B. The man practising his trombone at night and disturbing the neighbourhood
- C. A motorist patiently keeping to his own side of the road to let other traffic pass
- D. A person assuming that private habits may be forced on a whole neighbourhood
Solution
Patiently keeping to one's own side of the road is exactly the kind of self-restraint Gardiner praises, unlike the other examples of selfish behaviour.
