Correct Answer: gave you some advice,


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

The verb " gave " is incorrect in this context. The correct form should be "give" because it needs to match the infinitive "to" in the sentence. When the infinitive "to " is used, it is followed by the base form of the verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: If I want to give you some advice, would you be interested?
