Question

Read the passage from "Federalist Paper X" written by James Madison in 1787.

Liberty is to faction what air is to fire, an aliment without which it instantly expires. But it could not be less folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life,
because it nourishes faction, than it would be to wish the annihilation of air, which is essential to animal life, because it imparts to fire its destructive agency.
Select the best paraphrase of the excerpt.
A. Abolishing liberty is essential to political life just as the annihilation of air is essential to animal life.
B. Liberty is like air; it's essential to everything or else it will be destroyed by fire.
C. There will never be a majority on anything as no one can agree with each other.
