Question

Fill in the gaps using a corresponding verb or noun: They ___ the government on environmental matters. advise advice

Answer 1

They advise the government on environmental matters.

Answer 2

"They advise the government on environmental matters."

In this sentence, the correct word to fill in the gap is "advise." The sentence would then read: "They advise the government on environmental matters." The word "advise" is a verb, and in this context, it means that they provide recommendations or guidance to the government regarding environmental issues.

The word "advice" is a noun, and it refers to the recommendations or opinions offered as guidance. However, in this sentence, the action of providing guidance is what is being described, so the appropriate word is the verb "advise."
