Question

"I'm not going to give you any easy answers or suggest a topic for you," Mr. Wang said. "But I'd be happy to ,fill in the blank, you about the matter. Together, I'm sure we can come up with some strategies that will help you select a topic you'll be excited about."

Question
Which word ,begin emphasis,best,end emphasis, completes the sentence?

Answer options with 4 options
1.
counsel

2.
direct

3.
judge

4.
order

Answer 1

The word that best completes the sentence is "counsel."

So the complete sentence would read:

"I'm not going to give you any easy answers or suggest a topic for you," Mr. Wang said. "But I'd be happy to counsel you about the matter. Together, I'm sure we can come up with some strategies that will help you select a topic you'll be excited about."

The other options do not fit the context as well as "counsel."
