Hi Clive,
When you said 'identifies', did you mean 'treating what was being told as an advice' or 'clarifying what was being told was an advice and not an order' ?
Thanks

Hi,
l mean that the word 'advice' tells the reader of the sentence that I regard 'Don't go by train, go by bus' as advice and not as, for example, an order.
