This question is about Ronald Reagan's speech, entitled "A Time for Choosing".
Answer:
As you did not provide the lines to which this question refers, my answer may be a little inaccurate, because the numbering of lines I have from this course may be different from the numbering of lines to which your question refers.
However, the premise in the paragraph that begins on line 39 according to my text is that the loss of freedom is not beneficial to anyone and that it causes pain and suffering to anyone.
Explanation:
On line 39 Reagan talks about the experience that a friend of his, a Cuban refugee, had to face because of the country's lack of freedom. he had to flee from Cuba, even though he was a successful businessman. Some people reported that he was lucky to be able to leave the country and he even agrees, because he had this option, although many of his fellow citizens do not.
Reagan uses this story to show how the lack of freedom is harmful to anyone, regardless of their social position or their ability to escape. The lack of freedom is harmful for that reason, it cannot be allowed in America.

I’m confused on what you are trying to ask
Answer:
The statement that is accurate is:
D. A topic sentence is the central idea of a paragraph, while a main idea is the central idea of an entire text.
Explanation:
Every paragraph in a text can have a topic sentence. This sentence presents or summarizes the central idea of that paragraph. It usually - not necessarily always - comes at the beginning of the paragraph and is followed by sentences that will help develop and support it.
On the other hand, the entire text will be developing one idea or claim through the paragraphs. That idea or claim is the main idea. It usually comes in the very first paragraph of the text and is repeated, in a shorter way, in the conclusion.
