Explanation:

Question 3

To determine the meaning of "independence", we analyze the options. "Freedom from another country" aligns with the concept of a nation or entity not being under the control of another, while "fighting a war" is an action, not the definition of independence.

Natural rights are inherent, universal rights. "Being equal" (in the sense of inherent equality) is more in line with natural rights, while "being allowed to vote" is a specific legal/political right, not a natural right.

A petition is a formal request for something (e.g., change, action, consideration), while "an official record of events" is a different concept (like a chronicle). So the first option matches the definition of a petition.

Answer:

freedom from another country
