Solution

The sentence that best completes the paragraph is: "If someone wants to legitimize what they are doing, even if it is harmful, they will almost certainly try to describe their actions in terms of freedom and rights." This sentence fits best because it continues the idea of the misuse of the concepts of freedom and rights to justify harmful actions.
