Which of the following is not a feature of Bacon’s essay style?

AUse of metaphors

BPersonal emotional tone

CObjective and impersonal voice

DPractical advice

Answer:

B. Personal emotional tone

Read Explanation:

Francis Bacon’s essays are known for being:

  • Objective: He focuses on universal truths and rational thought rather than personal feelings.

  • Impersonal: He avoids using personal anecdotes, emotions, or a first-person voice.

  • Philosophical & analytical: He writes with a calm, logical tone, addressing human nature, governance, knowledge, etc.

So, a “personal emotional tone” — which involves expressing personal feelings, moods, or experiences — is not a typical trait of his style.
