INFORMATIONAL TEXT from “Of Great Place,” Sir Francis Bacon Gr 12. BOY Read this opening passage from Sir Francis Bacon’s essay “Of Great Place.” Then, answer the question(s). (1) Men in great places1 are thrice servants: servants of the sovereign or state, servants of fame, and servants of business. (2) So as they have no freedom, neither in their persons nor in their actions nor in their times. (3) It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others and to lose power over a man’s self. (4) The rising unto place is laborious, and by pains men come to greater pains; and it is sometimes base,2 and by indignities men come to dignities.3 (5) The standing is slippery, and the regress4 is either a downfall or at least an eclipse. . . . _______________________ 1.places: offices 2.base: low; wicked 3.dignities: offices 4.regress: withdrawal ABC Question 4 Which of the following is the best description of Bacon’s chain of reasoning in this passage

Answer:

C). He asserts the contradictions between the reasons people  desire "great office" and the actual experience of obtaining  and holding such an office.

Explanation:

Bacon in the given passage throws light upon 'the contradictions between the cause for which people desire 'great offices and positions' and the reality of holding such offices.' The people feel they are seeking power and dignity and reducing pains in their life. But the reality is that 'this power and dignity comes at the cost of their liberty and dignity' and 'gaining power over others, they lose the power on their own selves', 'they reach to greater pains from pains.' Thus, this is the enigma that best describes the author's reasoning in this passage and hence, option C is the correct answer.

What role does the volume and pitch of your voice play in delivering a rhetorical speech?

to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe.
Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups
