Which term means to give advice?

• A. Rebellion
• B. Advise
• C. Coalition
• D. Debt

Answer: (B)

Understanding how to express giving guidance is what this item tests. To advise means to offer suggestions about what someone should do or what action to take. It’s the verb form that describes the act of giving guidance. In social studies, leaders and mentors often advise communities on decisions, policies, or courses of action. The noun form is advice, which is the guidance itself rather than the act of giving it. The other terms describe different ideas: rebellion is rising against authority; a coalition is a group formed for a common purpose; debt is money that is owed. So the best choice is advise because it directly means to provide guidance.
