Why do people dislike advice ?

  • A.People think they are underrated in their intelligence and understanding.
  • B.Advice are considered old-fashioned and unnecessary.
  • C.People do not understand advice.
  • D.People think they already know all about it.

Answer: A

The answer is People think they are underrated in their intelligence and understanding.

The passage says we look upon the giver of advice as offering an affront to our understanding and intelligence, treating us as children or idiots, and that we take the instruction as an implicit censure. Option A restates this.

Nothing in the passage calls advice old-fashioned or unnecessary (B), says people fail to understand it (C), or says they believe they already know it (D); the objection it gives is about being talked down to.
