20. advance

- advants ✘
- advance ✔
- advance ✔ (same as above, but listed twice?)
Wait — actually:
- advants ✘
- advance ✔
- advance ✔
So both middle and right are correct? But likely a typo.

But looking at it:
- advants → incorrect
- advance → correct
- advance → correct

So both middle and right options are correct? That seems odd.

But if we assume only one correct option per row, then:

✔ Correct: advance (either middle or right)

But since both are identical, it's fine.
