Yes, I do believe that these new inventions such as the smartphone and computers benefit us. Time consumption is a factor to consider but is optional. If you’re in a fast paced life, you wouldn’t want anything taking a lot of time since you’d believe that you have better, more important things to do (assumption). Another factor is quality, but it is optional. Do you want quality in your talk? Go in depth, etc? If so, then maybe a good-old call would benefit your lifestyle more. Whether or not these inventions benefit us depends on who it’s benefiting aka the lifestyles of the people using these inventions.
Answer:
C). Holding high office has costs as great as any of the benefits.
Explanation:
The third statement i.e. 'Holding...benefits' most aptly states the central claim that Bacon builds in the given passage as he portrays the 'costs associated with holding high offices.' He asserts that <u>'men in great places are servants thrice; of state, of fame, and of business' which snatches their liberty and thus, the desire for power leads to loss of freedom.</u> People take the pain(by making efforts) to attain much greater pains(lose their self, liberty, and become more laborious). Thus, <u>the author displays that people only see the benefits enjoyed by people in power but the costs that these benefits come upon is much higher</u>. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
