Explanation:

Question 14

To determine the cartoon's position on free speech, we analyze each option:

• Option A ("Speech should always be limited") is extreme and not typical of nuanced free - speech takes.
• Option B ("Speech is applied selectively") is a common theme in discussions about free speech, where different types of speech (e.g., hate speech vs. political speech) are treated differently, so this is a plausible position.
• Option C ("Speech causes conflict") is more about the consequence of speech rather than a position on free speech itself.
• Option D ("Speech should be eliminated") is extremely radical and not a common or reasonable position on free speech.

• Option A: Democracy is related to the right to free speech as free speech is a cornerstone of democratic societies. If the cartoon is about free speech, democracy is a very relevant unit concept.
• Option B: Veracity refers to truthfulness. While truth in speech is important, it is not the most direct connection to free speech compared to democracy.
• Option C: Group polarization is about how groups make decisions and the shift in opinions within groups. It has little direct connection to free speech.
• Option D: Impartiality is about being neutral. It is not directly related to the concept of free speech.

Answer:

B. Speech is applied selectively
