Key Points

  • A "seer" is a person who is supposed to be able, through supernatural insight, to see what the future holds or to give wise advice.
    • The sentence would read: "A seer gives us his words of wisdom."
  • Let's look at the rest of the options:
    • Sere: This is an adjective that describes something that is dry or withered. It doesn't fit in the sentence as it does not refer to a person who can provide words of wisdom.
    • Cere: This refers to a part of a bird's beak. In the context of the sentence, it doesn't make sense as it does not refer to a person who can provide words of wisdom.
    • Sear: This is a verb that means to burn or scorch the surface of something with sudden heat. It doesn't fit in the sentence as it does not refer to a person who can provide words of wisdom.
