问题      The ways of history are so intricate and the motivations of human actions
so complex that it is always hazardous to attempt to represent events cover      【M1】______
a number of years, a multiplicity of persons, and distant localities as the
expression of one intellectual and social movement; yet the historical process   【M2】______
which culminates in the ascent of Thomas Jefferson to the presidency            【M3】______
can be regarded as the outstanding example not only of the birth of a new
way of life but nationalism as a new way of life. The American Revolution        【M4】______
represents the link between the seventeenth century, in which modem England
became conscious of itself, and the awakening of modem Europe in the     【M5】______
end of the eighteenth century. It may seem strange that the march of history
should have to cross the Atlantic Ocean, but only in the North American         【M6】______
colonies a struggle for civic liberty lead also to the foundation of a new ’     【M7】______
nation. Here, in the popular rising for a "tyrannical" government, the fruits    【M8】______
were more than the securing of a free constitution. They included the growth     【M9】______
of a nation born in liberty by the will of the people, not from the roots
of common dement, a geographic entity, or the ambitions of king or dynasty.
With the American nation, in the first time, a nation was born, not in the       【M10】______
dim past of history but before the eyes of the whole world.
【M9】
选项
答案free改成freer
解析 逻辑错误。根据上下文，constitution(宪法，国体)在反抗中有可能变得自由一些，而绝对不可能是“自由”，因为只要是国家，就必然不会出现所谓的free constitution。此处应该使用 freer，显然是在和句子前半句的tyrannical做对比。
