When the author says "Judgement is a matter of brains, and a man must start with a good stock of that article--", he is saying that without a good stock of brains, you cannot have good judgement.

So the answer would be D or A?

anonymous · Answer

So I thought that C, D, and A are wrong.

anonymous · Answer

And this IS an opinion, so B could very easily be the answer.

anonymous · Answer

Nothing about A,C,or D is stated in the passage.

anonymous · Answer

And the author is implying A person who lacks good judgment cannot be a good pilot.
So I cannot see another answer other than B
