Answer

Brief Explanations:

The excerpt emphasizes a commitment to do whatever it takes (pay any price, bear any burden etc.) to ensure liberty's survival and success. It also mentions that united with allies there's much that can be achieved, while divided there's little. The first option is too extreme ("only way"), the second misrepresents as it's not about fighting all other countries but assuring survival of liberty. The third is incorrect as the text focuses on unity with allies rather than going own way if they don't agree. The fourth option aligns with doing whatever it takes (preserve freedom) and the benefit of working together (united there's little we cannot do).

Answer:

We will do whatever it takes to preserve our freedom, but will get more done working together.
