　　Let us (11)-{suppose} that you are in the position of a parent.

　　Would you allow your children to read any book they wanted without first checking its (12)-{contents}

　　Would you take your children to see any film without first finding out whether it is (13)-{suitable} for them.

　　If your answer to these questions is "yes",

　　then you are just plain (14)-{irresponsible

　　If your answer is "no"

　　then you are exercising your right as a parent to protect your children.

　　what you consider to be (15)-{undesirable} influence.

　　plays and films which come before the censor are very far being "works of art".

　　When censorship laws are relaxed.

　　dishonest people are given a chance to produce virtually anything in the name of "art".

　　One of the great things that censorship does

　　is(20)-{to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others

　　To argue in favour of absolute freedom is to argue in favour of anarch.

　　Society would really be the better if it were protected by correct censorship
