b) The battle for freedom from fear. c) Four freedoms touched on in Franklin Roosevelt's famous book.

b) Those arming themselves for self-defence now attack others in daylight.
c) Guns are waning in value.
d) 0nly during daylight is it probable to talk of real freedom to be out. 3. Tourists arc more in danger as.........................
a) they do not have any maps to know their way.
b) maps that can be owned by Americans are inaccessible to tourists.
c) maps showing larger parts of cities are usually unavailable to tourists.
d) they lack Americans' instinctive awareness of which parts of cities are more dangerous. People struggling against starvation, ignorance and disease value political ideology only to the
extent that it affects their own desperate condition. Similarly, the evils of the drug trade are
relative. Peasants, struggling to put food on the table for their children, see income from coca
leaf production
as their salvation. Narco traffickers, taking advantage of the desperation of poverty and the
seemingly insatiable North American demand for drugs, often provide a welcome means of
economic stability for those unfortunates for whom there are few alternatives. Many people in
Latin America, actually, argue passionately that it is far more preferable to send cocaine north
for the gringos than to allow their own children to starve. The consequences, they say with a
shrug, are a North American problem.
4. It is stressed in the passage that...................
a) coca, from which cocaine is produced, is grown by North Americans for illegal income as
they are economically hopeless.
b) Latin Americans provide an indispensable market for narcotraffickers as they would do
anything to save their children from starvation.
