Comprehension (Question 25)Read the passage and answer the following questions.An essay which appeals chiefly to the intellect is Francis Bacon’s “Of Studies.” His careful tripartite division of studies expressed succinctly in aphoristic prose demands the complete attention of the mind of the reader. He considers studies as they should be: for pleasure, for self-improvement, for business. He considers the evils of excess study: laziness, affectation, and preciosity. Bacon divides books into three categories: those to be read in part, those to be read cursorily, and those to be read with care. Studies should include reading, which gives depth; speaking, which adds readiness of thought; and writing, which trains in preciseness. Somewhat mistakenly, the author ascribes certain virtues to individual fields of study: wisdom to history, wit to poetry, subtlety to mathematics, and depth to natural philosophy. Bacon’s four-hundred-word essay, studded with Latin phrases and highly compressed in thought, has intellectual appeal indeed.QUESTION 25bookmark_borderSelect the correct answerThe passage suggests that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements?radio_button_unchecked“Of Studies” belongs in the category of works that demand to be read with care.radio_button_uncheckedScholars’ personalities are shaped by the academic discipline in which they are engaged.radio_button_uncheckedIt is an affectation to use foreign words in one’s writing.radio_button_uncheckedAn author can be more persuasive in a long work than in a shorter one.
