Answer 1

Answer:

B. Those who seek great place sacrifice as much as they gain.

Explanation:

For Bacon, the search for the great place is an extremely strange desire, since the great place does not promote perks, but sacrifices so difficult to carry that they often cause men to lose their ways and their goals. He affirmed that upon arriving at the great place, man becomes more servant than he has ever been, they lose their freedoms and wills and often end up losing themselves, even being corrupted.
