What do the underlined words in this excerpt most clearly suggest about the opinions woolf is referring to?

It was disappointing not to have brought back in the evening some important statement, some authentic fact. women are poorer than men because - this or that. perhaps now it would be better to give up seeking the truth, and receiving on one's head an avalanche of opinion hot as lava, (underlined here->) discoloured as dish-water.

A. they are useful for responding to others opinions
B. they are unintelligent but also open and honest
C. they are unpopular and dishonest
D. they are unpleasant and distateful

The underlined words "discoloured as dish-water" have a negative connotation. Therefore option A can be eliminated because it is positive when it talks about the opinions being useful. We know she views the opinions as negative when she does not list the evidence the author gives. She sees them as pointless and ridiculous when she uses the words "this or that" to summarize them. She goes on to say "it would be better to give up seeking the truth" so we know that B is also incorrect since it talks about honesty. Dishwater is normally dirty and filled with food particles. It is unpleasant to think about putting your hands in dirty dishwater. Therefore Option D is the best choice.
