Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.

A stout old lady was walking with her basket down the middle of a street in retrograde to the great confusion of the traffic and no small peril to herself. It was pointed out to her that the pavement was the place for foot-passengers, but she replied, 'I m going to walk where I like. We have got liberty now.' It did not occur to the dear lady that if liberty entitled the foot-passenger to walk down the middle of the the road it also entitled the taxi-drive on the pavement, and that the end of such liberty would be universal chaos. Everything would be getting in everybody else's way and nobody would get anywhere. Individual liberty would have become social anarchy
