The best way to win a friend is to avoid
Answer: D
Correct answer: Ambiguity in speech
The passage lists what turns a would-be friend into an enemy: a slip of the tongue, the use of an unusual word, or of an ambiguous word. Ambiguity is named there, and the paragraph goes on to explain the danger - that a word may bear a different meaning to our listener than to us. Pomposity is mentioned, but as how the educated sound, not as what loses a friend.
