【单选题】{{B}}Passage Four{{/B}}

There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight.

B．give each important problem some careful consideration
C．acquire a great deal of complex and special knowledge
D．give suitable consideration to all the possible elements in a problem
