Option b. According to Bacon, people should read for pleasure and education.

Explanation:

Francis Bacon was an English philosopher who served as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. In one of his essays "Of Studies" he stated how people should read for pleasure and education, and not just for one of those things on its own. In his own words, studies and reading should serve for delight and for ability, and people should study and read but not for too much, as that would no longer be a pleasure.

The short story "Sol Painting, Inc.", written by Meg Medina, is about a girl named Merci who wants to continue her father’s legacy and business. Her mother wants her to get into a nice school, so they make a deal. While holding their end of the bargain, snobby girls ruin their work, and Merci wants her dad to stand up for her, but instead, he is quiet and respectful.
