text: Asking multiple people is better than only asking one because the one person you're asking could be inexperienced with the topic. Some people are more experienced with some topics then others. For example, some students are better at math and science then they are at English and civics. If you needed help with civics class then you shouldn't ask those students because they aren't great at civics. Asking multiple people for their advice is less risky than only asking one person who could be inexperienced with the topic.
