Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

If you had consulted me, I would have ________ you.

Options:

advising

advises

advised

advise

Correct Answer:

advised

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is:

advised

The sentence would read: "If you had consulted me, I would have advised you."

Explanation: "Advised" is the past participle form of the verb "advise," and it is the correct form to use in this context. The other options don't fit the context:

  • Advising: This is the present participle form, and it doesn't match the conditional structure of the sentence.

  • Advises: This is the third person singular form in the present tense, and it doesn't fit the past conditional structure of the sentence.

  • Advise: This is the base form of the verb, and it doesn't fit the past conditional structure of the sentence.
