(2) So as they have no freedom, neither in their persons nor in their actions nor in their times. (3) It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others and to lose power over a man’s self. (4) The rising unto place is laborious, and by pains men come to greater pains; and it is sometimes base,2 and by indignities men come to dignities.3 (5) The standing is slippery, and the regress4 is either a downfall or at least an eclipse. . . . 1.places: offices 2.base: low; wicked 3.dignities: offices 4.regress: withdrawal ABC Question 4 Which of the following is the best description of Bacon’s chain of reasoning in this passage

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
