In this questions, select the option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence. The man reasoned that there ought to be a limit to sycophancy.

  1. There can be no favour beyond a reasonable point
  2. Sycophants need not talk all the time
  3. People should know when not to use flattery ✓
  4. Sycophants should know when to grant people’s requests
Explanation

A sycophant is someone who flatters powerful people to gain favour. “A limit to sycophancy” means flattery should not go too far.

So people should know when not to use flattery is correct. The other options talk about favours, talking or granting requests, which the sentence does not say.
