According to the author, why should one study ?

  • A.To gather information about the world
  • B.To pass time in a creative manner
  • C.For pleasure and enhanced capability
  • D.For worldly wisdom

Answer: C

According to the author one should study for pleasure and enhanced capability.

The first sentence of the passage reads: Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Delight is pleasure, and ability is capability, so the option joins the first and last of the three uses the author names.

Gathering information about the world and worldly wisdom are not what the author names; he even says that the wisdom of using studies lies outside them, 'won by observation'. Passing time in a creative manner has no support, since the author calls spending too much time in studies sloth.
