Advise
Counsel
Suggest
Direct
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The answer is D. Direct.
Advise, counsel, and suggest are all verbs that mean to give someone guidance or advice. However, direct is different in that it means to give someone orders or instructions.
For example, you might advise someone to take a certain route to work, counsel them on how to deal with a difficult situation, or suggest that they try a new restaurant. However, you would not direct someone to do any of these things. Instead, you would give them orders or instructions.
In the context of the question, the word “direct” is the odd one out because it is the only word that does not mean to give someone guidance or advice.
