Bacon writes, ""for else, young men shall go " here his meaning is literal—a youth should wear protection from harsh weather literal—a youth should hide his identity from foreigners metaphorical—a youth should protect himself from harmful culture metaphorical—a youth should not close his mind to what he is experiencing

metaphorical—a youth should not close his mind to what he is experiencing.

This excerpt comes from Francis Bacon's essay Of Travel.

In this essay, Bacon advises young men to travel to different places, and to try to learn as much as possible from everything they see. He also advises them to ask other people who have been to the destination before for advice and to try to learn as much as possible about the place. Otherwise, the traveller would be blind, or "hooded," to all the beauties of the place.

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
