(3) But perhaps they will not love it. Maybe I am a lde above their heads. I remember on one First of January receiving an anonymous postcard wishing me a

Answer:

Explanation:The correct answer is D. The author develops his point about not liking to take advice by describing a painter being unhappy using someone else's style. In the passage, the author compares his reluctance to follow advice to a painter of miniatures being forced to paint in the style of Herkomer, which he finds wrenching. This example illustrates the author's aversion to conforming to someone else's artistic style and highlights his preference for maintaining his own artistic vision. By using this description, the author effectively develops his point about not liking to take advice by drawing a parallel between his own reluctance and the painter's unhappiness in adopting a different style.
