OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
E
This sentence contains many details and so it is important to focus on what is most important by paraphrasing the sentence: Kosciuszko fought in both his native country and in the US, and he believed that fighting for freedom in one country did not stop him from fighting in other countries. Therefore, choice (E) preclude, or "prevent," fits.
Choice (A) fail to limit creates a double negative and is the opposite of the prediction. Choices (C) entangle one in, or "involve," and (D) sanction, or "permit," are also opposite to the prediction. Lastly, choice (B) mask, or "conceal," is an out of scope choice-the sentence does not mention hiding.
Choice (E) is the credited response.
