The question is asking us to comment on the following quote:

“To renounce freedom is to renounce one's humanity, one's rights as a man, and equally one's duties.” .

This question is asking for your opinion - so you should answer yourself. But I can help a bit.

The quote makes it clear that freedom is very important - maybe the most important attribute - it's like humanity. Freedom is essential to life, but it comes with duties.

Personally, I agree that freedom is important, but I think it's not that important - I think a person can live a good life even in a totalitarian regime if one has their family and stays low - but what do you think?
