Answer 1

Answer:

A. Francis Bacon

• "Reading maketh a full man." This quote is attributed to Francis Bacon (1561-1626) who was an English philosopher, statesman and science pioneer.

• By reading, one is able to fill the mind with knowledge pertaining to a variety of topics. So reading makes a "full man," that is, a man whose mind is filled with knowledge.
