Out of the given four options, tick the correct option.

SOLUTION

The correct answer is option 4), i.e., 'None of the above'.

The correct sentence should be: 'His elder brother gave him much good advice.'

 

• 'advice' is an uncountable noun (like “water” or “sand”), and as such it has no plural form.
• E.g.: He gave us many good advices.      
           He gave us much good advice.

Since it is uncountable, we cannot say “an advice”. We would usually say just “advice” (without an article), or, if it is necessary to emphasize that we think about it as about one piece of information, we use “piece of advice”:

• E.g.: This was good advice.

                   This was a good piece of advice. 
                   This was a good advice. 

• Certain nouns exist in plural forms only. Thus. 's' cannot be removed from them to make them singular. They take plural verbs with them.
  • E.g.: Surroundings, Scissors, Tongs, Pants, Outskirts, Fireworks, Binoculars, etc.
• Given below are some nouns that are plural in form but singular in meaning. They take singular verb.
  • E.g.: News, Politics, Measles, Physics, etc.
