Conscience vs Conscious

Spelled within a couple of letters of each other, conscience and conscious are a common mix-up, and these 9 questions help you keep them straight.

Complete lines like A good ___ will help you make right decisions. or I was painfully ___ of people staring at me during my speech.

The idea the quiz reinforces: conscience is your inner sense of right and wrong, the voice that makes you feel guilty, while conscious simply means awake or aware of what is happening around you.
