28、”这一观点。1a考查冠词。此处表示泛指“一种好方法”，因此填不定冠词a。2easiest考查形容词最高级。根据空前的冠词the可知，此处应填其最高级形式easiest。3freedom考查名词。根据give somebody something的结构可知，此处应填free的名词形式freedom。4will pay考查时态。sooner or later“迟早”，根据其意思可知，该空应用一般将来时。5truly考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词，因此此处应该填true的副词形式。6standing考查非谓语动词。此空在“If there were two people”后，说明要用非谓语动词；people与stand之间为主谓关系，因此用现在分词standing。7who/that考查定语从句。先行词为“person”，因此应该用关系代词who或that引导定语从句。8to believe考查非谓语动词。be likely to do为固定搭配。9Either考查连词。根据固定结构either.or.“要么要么”可知，此处应填either。10yours考查代词。这就是你的选择。此处用名词性物主代词yours作表语，指代“your choice”。
