Para-jumble (freedoms then and now): Reorder the sentences to weigh gains and losses since Conway and warn about modern threats to freedom. S1 = "Moncure Conway devoted his life to two great objects: freedom of thought, and freedom of the individual." S6 = "Unless a vigorous and vigilant public opinion can be aroused in defence of them, there will be much less of both a hundred years hence than there is now." Between S1 and S6, structure the reflection clearly: P = "They threaten both kinds of freedom." Q = "But something also has been lost." R = "There are now dangers, somewhat different in form from those of the past ages." S = "In regard to both these objects, something has been gained since his time." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.
