Answer: b. It is worth risking your life to fight for political freedom.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this passage Patrick Henry asks his fellow Virginia men why they were still debating going to war when it had already begun and other Colonists were already fighting the British.

By asking them if their lives were so valuable that they would remain in servitude to the British just so that they could keep it, and by saying that he should be given either liberty or death, Patrick Henry is inferring that it is worth risking life to gain political freedom.
