Which of the following statements is from the essay 'Of Studies' by Francis Bacon ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
In his essay "Of Studies", Francis Bacon writes, "For natural abilities are like natural plants, that need proyning [pruning] by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience." By contrast, "He that seeketh to be eminent..." is from Bacon's "Of Ambition", and "Travel, in the younger sort..." is from his "Of Travel".
