19. People who receive unsolicited advice from someone whose advantage would be served if that advice is taken should regard the proffered advice with skepticism unless there is good reason to think that their interests substantially coincide with those of the advice giver in the circumstance in question.

This principle, if accepted, would justify which one of the following judgments?

(A) After learning by chance that Harriet is Looking for a secure investment for her retirement savings. Floyd writes to her recommending the R&M Company as an especially secure investment. But since Floyd is the sole owner of R&M, Harrier should reject his advice out of hand and invest the savings elsewhere.

(B) While shopping for a refrigerator. Ramon is approached by a salesperson who, on the basis of her personal experience, warns him against the least expensive model. However, the salesperson's commission increases with the price of the refrigerator sold, so Ramon should not reject the least expensive model on the salesperson's advice alone.

(C) Mario wants to bring pastry to Yvette's party, and when he consults her Yvette suggests that he bring his favorite chocolate fudge brownies from the local bakery. However, since Yvette also prefers those brownies to any other pastry, Mario would be wise to check with others before following her recommendation.

(D) Sara overhears Ron talking about a course he will be teaching and interrupts to recommend a textbook for his course. However, even though Sara and Ron each wrote a chapter of' this textbook, since the book's editor is a personal friend of Sara's, Ron should investigate further before deciding whether it is the best textbook for his course.

(E) Mel is buying fish for soup. Joel, who owns the fish market where Mel is a regular and valued customer, suggests a much less expensive fish than the fish Mel herself prefers. Since if Mel follows Joel's advice, Joel will make less profit on the sale than he would have otherwise. Mel should follow his recommendation.

A错。
原题说：如果某个人的建议对提建议的人有好处，你得怀疑这个建议(但不是拒绝)。除非这个建议确实对你有好处。

A说了这个建议对提建议的人确实有好处，所以应该拒绝。。原文只是说怀疑，所以不一样。

C错在和原文的unsolicited advice不一致。。这个advice 不是 unsolicited advice

D错在这个建议对Ron 也有好处，因为他是作者。和原文的unless不符

E错在信息不能从原文中给出。。E说某建议如果对提建议的人没好处，应该听取。原文无法推出

好，我们再看B：
销售人员建议我不要买便宜商品。这个建议当然对销售人员有好处。而对我没好处。那我当然要怀疑这个建议了(但没有拒绝)--即B结论： should not reject the least expensive model on the salesperson's advice alone.
