I finally decided to place the emphasis on "progress" (I couldn't figure out what emphasis the authors intended), in which case the question became whether "progress" carried moral connotations or not.

That would not have occurred to me. You're much more, er, creative than I. I just answered "agree" because I couldn't disagree but not "strongly" because that suggests approval of one-party states, which I absolutely do not.

>>A significant advantage of a one party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.<<

I focused on significant advantage and strongly disagreed. I don't consider a one party state an advantage at all, and I don't believe progress can be achieved without argument.
