text: Seeking multiple people for advice can help narrow down the right choices. Sometimes, people want confirmation that their answer is correct. When students go up to their peers and ask them, "Is this the right choice?", people will respond usually with a yes or no and then give them pointers on the right way to the answer. The pointers that are given might work for some, but for others it might mislead them. Or, the pointers given might be too broad. Asking different people can narrow down those broad pointers until you're on the right track. When multiple people have suggested the same choice, or have given you the thumbs up on your decision, it would look as though you got the right choice. Asking others narrows down the different paths toward the right choice until you have the right decision in front of you.
