Part A was which statement best states the claim, or main point, that Bacon builds upon in this passage?

A. Holding high office causes people to do evil.

B. Holding high office is one of the noblest aspirations.

C. Holding high office has costs as great as any of the benefits.

D. Holding high office helps people serve others in many ways.

Answer:

C. Holding high office has costs as great as any of the benefits.

Explanation:

The statement that best states the claim that Bacon made in the passage is the third statement because it shows that holding high office comes at a great cost and that highly placed powerful people are really servants, both to the state, fame, or business which takes away a degree of their freedom.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Holding high office has costs as great as any of the benefits.

In 1840, the transcendentalist periodical <em>The Dial </em>was founded, and in that same year it published "Orphic Sayings" by Amos Bronson Alcott.

<em>The Dial </em>was a journal that supported the transcendentalists' philosophy, influenced by Immanuel Kant. Transcendentalism believes in the inherent goodness of people and nature and reinforces the idea that society is capable of corrupting the soul of an individual. Furthermore,<u> "Orphic Sayings" was one of Alcott's contribution to </u><u><em>The Dial. </em></u><em> </em>Alcott's work got favorable reviews and was considered highly valuable for its philosophy. In that way,<u> "Orphic Sayings" was famous for expressing the mystical idealism of the author</u>. The last "Orphic Sayings" was published in 1842.

I need a preamble of a story that ends with “That experience will linger on my mind for a long time”.​
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

I left home as early as 7 am, I needed to get to the train station. I did not want to be late on my first day at work. Luckily for me, I was able to get a bus to the train station just on time. I paid for my ticket and sat down whole waiting for the train to move. It was just a few minutes, but the anxiety I felt made it seem as though I'd been sitting for hours.

The train blared its horn, and we moved. I removed my phone to message my partner, to douse the tension I was feeling. I messaged him and he was trying to calm my nerves. I couldn't fathom why I was restless, the adrenaline rush was quite much for me. I asked him for permission to video call, and he accepted, we were conversing if my memory serves me right, he was complimenting me when I heard a loud screech. My phone fell down on the floor right away.

There were screaming everywhere and my head was banging, I was trying to focus but somehow, I was lying down in an unusual manner. I tried to look through the window, and I was seeing the sky. I couldn't piece it all together, but by the time I got to the window, amidst all the chaos in the cabin it finally made sense to me.

The train had derailed!
