Bacon would probably say that the most important reason you were assigned “of studies” at school is —
a.
that “histories make men wise . . ”
b.
because “logic and rhetoric [make people] able to contend . .”
c.
that “bowling is good for the stone and reins . .”
d.
“the mathematics [make people] subtle . .”

The correct answer is B) logic and rhetoric make people able to contend.

Bacon would probably say that the most important reason you were assigned "Of Studies" at school is that logic and rhetoric make people able to contend.

Francis Bacon (1661-1626) wrote the book "Of Studies" in 1601. In the book, he says that people should read for pleasure and education. He invites people to learn from books and from experience. Here we can find his quote that says "Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested." Francis Bacon considered that studies help people to enjoy and prosper in life.

i believe the answer is d : )

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
