Review 1st MC Test• In your groups, compare results to determine why

enough or that you find more challenging to master?o do you have a difficult time with negative construction

stems?o do you talk yourself out of the best answer?

CCP• Liberty is to faction, what air

is to fire, an ailment without which it instantly expires. But it could not be a less folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life, because it nourishes faction, than it would be to wish the annihilation of air, which is essential to animal life, because it imparts to fire its destructive agency.
