Explanation:

Garrison explicitly rejects moderation regarding slavery, using the analogy of a house on fire (which demands immediate, urgent action, not a "moderate alarm"). This aligns with the idea that slavery must be addressed right away, not gradually or ignored.

Answer:

It is a problem that should be solved immediately.
