Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error in the sentence is in part three: to advice him where to go.

Advise ” is a verb, which means to recommend or give information to someone. “ Advice ” is a noun, which is an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide to action. The word "advice" should be replaced with "advise" to form the correct verb form.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "I knew the town well, so I was able to advise him where to go".
