Correct Answer :
A. It was thought that freedom and prosperity would spread gradually throughout the world through an orderly process, and it was hoped that tyranny and injustice would continually diminish.
Option (b) is incorrect because of the placement of the word 'gradually'. Options (c) and (d) are incorrect. The 'orderly process' has to refer to the spread of freedom and prosperity and not to the 'thought process' as mentioned in options (c) and (d).
