Two universal themes in Lord of the Flies are the tension between freedom and responsibility and the conflict between an individual’s desires and the community’s needs. Which statement best describes how these universal themes relate to each other?

Both themes show that living in a community can require individuals to give up some personal freedom or desires. Responsibility may limit what someone can do, while the community’s needs may conflict with what an individual wants. So both themes involve pressure to make sacrifices, which is why “They both deal with the pressure on individuals to make sacrifices” is the best choice.
