Re: Word order in a sentence was much freer in old French than it is in [#permalink]

Hi
Word order in a sentence was much freer in old French than it is in French today, this (i) _____disappeared as the French language gradually lost its case distinctions.

Here, 'this' is related to much freer. The meaning is - the word order was freer and this (permit) disappeared ...
Hence license.

A suggests restriction and in the passage we are talking about permission (much freer) so it cannot be the answer.

Ask if the doubt remains.

Why no restrictions considered the word freer?

I do not think is a clear question, though

Sir, I am still not convinced. Is not disappeared of restriction means freedom?
Is this an ambiguous question?

It's indeed an ambiguous one. ETS won't set options like these.
