Reading the passage

What does being a private-property owner allow someone to do? The second paragraph says owners may use their property according to their own preferences, free from others’ intervention. That's the concept we need, as opposed to the evidence someone might use to prove ownership in court.

Working the answers

  • A

    A bill of sale can help establish who owns something. It doesn't describe what being the owner means or permits.

  • B

    Proof of earlier possession has the same problem. It concerns demonstrating an ownership claim, not defining the owner's rights.

  • C
    Correct

    This captures the broad freedom of use described in the second paragraph. It answers what ownership entitles someone to do.

  • D

    Transferring ownership to children is one possible exercise of that freedom. The question asks for the most complete description, and ownership isn't limited to that one use.

  • E

    Membership in the community is the basis of collective ownership. This describes the concept contrasted with the private-property concept we're being asked about.
