Question

complete the text with the correct pair of words. if you feel nervous before your speech, i ____ you to take a deep ____ prior to walking onstage. advice... breathe advise... breathe advice... breath advise... breath

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first blank: The first part of the sentence needs a verb (since it's the action the speaker is doing to "you"). "Advise" is a verb meaning to give advice, while "advice" is a noun. So the first blank should be "advise".
2. Analyze the second blank: The phrase "take a deep..." requires a noun. "Breath" is a noun (referring to the air taken in or out), while "breathe" is a verb (the action of inhaling/exhaling). So the second blank should be "breath".

Answer:

advise... breath
