Discussion
As it is described in the passage, which of the following most closely resembles "folk wisdom?"
Answer: D
Correct answer: A mother tells her child to put on a jacket so he won't catch a cold
Folk wisdom is defined in the passage as something seemingly in accord with common sense but nonetheless incorrect. Cold weather does not cause colds, yet the advice feels obviously right - which is the pattern exactly. Reading the sky is often reliable, an unanswerable question is not wisdom at all, and buying lottery tickets is a hope rather than a belief about how things work.
