Under individual freedom, what can a person do?
Model-written, not yet read by a native reader.
Correct answer: Live with the person of their choice. A person can live with the person of their choice. They can also express an opinion and move around. The only limit is not to stop others from doing the same.

The four choices and why
- ✗ Hide their face in the streetCacher son visage dans la rueThat is not the right answer: the sheet lists the freedom to live with the person of your choice.
- ✗ Stop a neighbour from practising their religionEmpêcher un voisin de pratiquer sa religionFreedom stops when it prevents the freedom of others.
- ✗ Choose not to pay taxesChoisir de ne pas payer ses impôtsThis option does not match what the sheet says: everyone lives as they wish, without stopping others.
- ✓ Live with the person of their choiceVivre avec la personne de son choixCorrect answer. A person can live with the person of their choice. They can also express an opinion and move around. The only limit is not to stop others from doing the same.
