Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

In America, people enjoy individual freedoms, and for the most part, they are able to express them as long as they don't restrict the rights and freedoms of others. Many people adopt a "live and let live" attitude that is based on respect for the rights and sovereignty of others but that promotes the rights of competent adults to be responsible for their own lives, property, money, and time. Attorney Marc J. Victor is president of the Arizona - and Hawaii-based Attorneys for Freedom law firm. Mr. Victor and his associates at Attorneys for Freedom are representative of a business supporting the Live and Let Live Movement. The firm, which accepts cases nationally, is committed to the ideals of the movement and the qualified team is ready to assist individuals with a range of issues in criminal, civil rights, and personal injury law.

Option 2: "Live and let live attitude based on the respect for rights."

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the main idea of the text, which discusses the 'live and let live' attitude that promotes respect for the rights and sovereignty of others. This attitude is central to the text, as it highlights the balance between individual freedoms and the responsibility towards others, aligning perfectly with the overall theme.

Option 1: "People does not enjoy freedom as they are not able to express them."

Explanation: This option contradicts the main idea of the text, which emphasizes that people in America do enjoy individual freedoms and can express them, provided they do not infringe on the rights of others. The phrase 'does not enjoy' is also grammatically incorrect; it should be 'do not enjoy' to match the plural subject 'people.'

Option 3: "Committed to the ideology of movement"

Explanation: While the text mentions that the Attorneys for Freedom law firm is committed to the ideals of the Live and Let Live Movement, this option is too vague and does not capture the essence of the main idea. It lacks the specific context of the 'live and let live' attitude and its basis in respect for rights, making it incomplete.

Option 4: "Divide and Rule policy."

Explanation: This option is entirely unrelated to the content of the text. The phrase 'divide and rule' suggests a strategy of maintaining power by creating divisions among groups, which contradicts the cooperative and respectful nature of the 'live and let live' attitude discussed in the paragraph. Therefore, it does not fit the main idea at all.
