Advice vs Advise

Nine sentences here sort out advice from advise, one of the most common spelling mix-ups in English. Advice with a c is the noun, the suggestion itself, and advise with an s is the verb, the act of giving it. You pick the right one for prompts like "Only take ___ from people who do what they recommend you do" and "School counselors ___ students on how to get a dream career." A good pick for beginners, especially once the trick clicks. The tip hiding in the quiz: the s sound tells you it is the verb advise.
