• A. accredited
• B. improved
• C. limited

• E. educated

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

limited

'Our personal liberty of action becomes qualified by other people's liberty' means that when we step out of our comfort zones, our actions and freedom becomes limited or controlled as there are other people in it.

Option A - 'Accredited' means officially recognised or approved. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Improved' means to become better'. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option D - 'Stymied' means to prevent something from happening. This is different from being limited. Thus option D is incorrect.

Option E - 'Educated' means to have learned an have good knowledge. Thus option E is incorrect.

Option C - 'Limited' means restricted or controlled to some extent. Thus option C is the correct answer.

'Qualified' nearly means 'limited'.
