Match List I with List II and select the correct answer from the codes :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| (a) Freedom | (1) An essential pre-condition for harmony and social stability |
| (b) Toleration | (2) Property of will |
| (c) Positive liberty | (3) Minimal state |
| (d) Negative liberty | (4) Being one's own master |
Answer: B
The correct matching is a-2, b-1, c-4, d-3.
Freedom, in the classical philosophical sense, is a property of the will, the capacity to choose (a-2). Toleration is treated as an essential pre-condition for harmony and social stability in a plural society (b-1). Positive liberty, in Isaiah Berlin's account, is being one's own master, self-rule (c-4). Negative liberty, the absence of interference, is tied to the idea of a minimal state that leaves individuals alone (d-3).
Option A swaps positive liberty with toleration, and options C and D link negative liberty with harmony or self-mastery, which are the marks of the other concepts.
