prevented
avoided
refused
denied
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is C. refused.
The other options are not correct because:
- A. prevented means to stop something from happening. In this case, the speaker is not trying to stop the person from listening, but rather is trying to give them advice.
- B. avoided means to stay away from something. In this case, the person is not staying away from the advice, but rather is refusing to listen to it.
- D. denied means to say that something is not true. In this case, the person is not saying that the advice is not true, but rather is refusing to listen to it.
The sentence “I tried to give him some good advice but he refused to listen” means that the speaker tried to give the person some advice, but the person did not want to listen to it. This could be because the person did not think the advice was good, or because they did not want to change their behavior.
