Question : Select the most appropriate option to improve the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to improve it, select 'No improvement'.
He turned a deaf ear on the advices of his parents.
Option 1: No improvement
Option 2: to the advice
Option 3: at the advices
Option 4: on the advice
Correct Answer: to the advice
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Advice is an uncountable noun, and it does not have a plural form. Uncountable nouns don't take an "s" to indicate plurality. Additionally, when indicating the source or origin of the advice, the preposition to is appropriate. Thus, on the advices should be replaced with to the advice to make the sentence grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: He turned a deaf ear to the advice of his parents.
