问

许多试题都强调 advice 是个不可数名词。例如：

$\frac{\text{Give}}{\text{A}} \frac{\text{me}}{\text{B}} \frac{\text{an}}{\text{C}} \frac{\text{advice.}}{\text{D}}$ (应去掉 an)(TOEFL 教程)
Professor Jackson was able to give me some very good advices when I went to see him about my difficulties with the experiment. (EPT)
