READING (passage)
There is nothing which we receive with so much reluctance as advice. We look upon the man
who gives it to us as offering an affront to our understanding and treating us like children or
idiots. We consider the instructions as an implicit censure, and the zeal which anyone shows for
our good on such an occasion as a piece of arrogance or impertinence. The truth of it is, the
person who pretends to advise, does, in that particular, exercise a superiority over us. He can
have no other reason for it, but that in comparing us with himself, he thinks us defective either
in our conduct or our understanding. For these reasons, there is nothing so difficult as art of
making advice agreeable; some convey their instructions to us in best chosen words, others in
the most harmonious numbers, some in the points of wit, and others in short proverbs.
Question: 1 – 10 Complete the summary below.
