Correct answer: C
Correct sequence: "We live in a liberal world." → "In some senses, liberalism enjoys a global victory." → "Even its opponents often make their case based on essentially liberal ideals of a society built on political liberties or free trade to best maximise individual freedom." → "In the vital details, liberalism comes in many guises." → "As the grounds for revolution or a midwife to empire, over the past two centuries it has shaped how we see ourselves and the world."
'We live in a liberal world.' — serves as the clear opening statement that sets the paragraph's topic.
'In some senses, liberalism enjoys a global victory.' — follows by qualifying and expanding on the opening claim, noting liberalism's apparent success.
'Even its opponents often make their case based on essentially liberal ideals of a society built on political liberties or free trade to best maximise individual freedom.' — connects different viewpoints to the liberal framework, showing its broad influence even among critics.
'In the vital details, liberalism comes in many guises.' — signals that the general idea manifests differently in practice and prepares the reader for an illustrative historical point.
'As the grounds for revolution or a midwife to empire, over the past two centuries it has shaped how we see ourselves and the world.' — provides a concluding historical perspective that exemplifies how liberalism has influenced global developments and our self-understanding.
