Question

What is the proper way to use studies, according to Bacon?

• A. Read everything quickly
• B. Memorize all facts
• C. Combine study with practical experience
• D. Avoid deep reading to save time

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Combine study with practical experience

“Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them.”
“Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability.”

• Study alone isn’t enough — it must be applied to real-life situations.

• Learning should inform action, not just stay theoretical.

• Wise people use their learning to make better decisions, solve problems, and improve their work or character.
