Policy  Adviser:  Freedom  of  speech  is  not  only  a  basic  human  right,  it  is  also  the   only  rational  policy  for  this  government  to  adopt.  When  ideas  are  openly  aired  good   idea  flourish,  silly  proposals  are  easily  recognized  as  such,  and  dangerous  ideas  can   be  responded  to  by  forcing  citizens  to  disseminate  their  thoughts  in  secret.  

  Which  one  of  the  following,  if  true,  world  most  strengthen  the  argument?    

(A)  Most  citizens  would  tolerate  some  limits  on  freedom  of  speech  
(B)   With   or   without   a   policy   of   freedom   of   speech,   governments   respond   to  dangerous  ideas  irrationally    
(C)  Freedom  of  religion  and  freedom  of  assembly  are  also  basic  human  rights  than  governments  must  recognize    
(D)   Governments   are   less   likely   to   be   overthrown   if   they   openly   adopt   a   policy  allowing  freedom  of  speech  
(E)  Great  ideas  have  flourished  in  societies  that  repress  free  speech  as  often  as  in   those  that  permit  it

Confused between B & D.

D .
Not B because B just tells us how the government chooses to respond to a dangerous idea but the method of responses does nothing to justify the idea that freedom of speech is the only rational policy for the government to follow
