What symbolic logic is used in showing liberty through broken chains?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Breaking bondage is a sign of liberty
The governing idea is symbolic contrast. Chains conventionally represent captivity, coercion, and subordination because they physically restrict movement. When the chains are shown as broken, that restriction has ended, so the image communicates release and liberty. Option B follows this visual logic. Paying taxes, obeying a king, or strengthening chains does not logically represent freedom.
