Please sdhar follow the proper way formatting the question. Here there is a post specifically made

qv-how-to-post-a-gre-question-the-easy-way-2362.html

Also follow the rules, adding the tag. So is much easier to find the question by other students

rules-to-post-on-the-verbal-forum-1652.html

Back to the question: the limitation of freedom of action comes in second order, after freedom of thought, more important.

A and F are the answers.

Hi, could you explain why "protected" isn't a good fit for the 1st blank?

thanks!

The keyword for the first blank is 'though also desirable'. So 'exercised' is the most desirable option. So we can exercise that option in the first blank.

Freedom of thought and indeed of choice must be protected more than freedom of action because the latter have to be subject to limits imposed by the statutory (government or else). Otherwise, we will end up in a state of anarchy.

Hope this helps.

Why not 'protected' for the first blank?

I chose B,F.

A - should be exercised more absolutely
B - should be protected more absolutely

"exercised" more absolutely? - doesn't make sense, compared to "protected" more absolutely.
