EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
Choose the correct option to complete the sentence: I am indebted to my friend's wise ______.
- a.council
- b.councel
- c.counsil
- d.counsel
Answer: (D) counsel
"Counsel" means advice (noun) or to advise (verb), and it also denotes a barrister, so the sentence is: I am indebted to my friend's wise counsel. "Council" is an assembly or administrative body (municipal council, Legislative Council). "Councel" and "counsil" are not English words at all. A third look-alike is "consul", a diplomat who looks after a country's citizens and trade in a foreign city.
