What is most clearly the impact of Bacon’s use of the phrases “by pains men come to greater pains” and “by indignities men come to dignities” (sentence 4)?

a. The use of analogy emphasizes the challenges those running for office face.

Explanation:

With these words, Bacon wanted to show how the path to the position that the men were applying for was very difficult, but the trajectory within those positions was more arduous and even more difficult, where responsibilities and obligations became pains that generated more pain, besides furthermore, it shows that the path is full of indignities, but it is through them that men manage to achieve dignity within their office.

In summary, we can say that the use of the analogy emphasizes the challenges that job candidates face.
