Who has given Jake the best piece of advice?

"You should talk to your friend about the work effort they put in the project. You ought to tell them how you feel that this situation is not fair. You should also talk to your teacher about this. She can talk to your friends and correct them. You should tell her how you have done all the work and how you think it is not fair that they get the same grade for something they didn't do. You ought to stay true to yourself and friends shouldn’t let you down like that."

"You should tell them that they should do something too. If everything is already done, they should do something extra. You shouldn’t let them get a high grade without doing something helpful. If they still don’t do anything at all, you ought to tell the teacher."

Who has given Michael the best piece of advice?

"You should tell her how you feel as soon as possible, her feelings will be hurt no matter when you tell it, but it is better to tell her now rather than waiting much longer, because her feelings towards you will most likely grow stronger. If you are certain you don't like her anymore you have to tell her a.s.a.p. If you don't want to hurt her maybe you can try it for a bit longer and maybe your feelings will come back."

"You should be honest with your girlfriend, if you wait it will just hurt the both of you. You should have a conversation with her and express your feelings and let her express them as well. You should tell her you still want to be friends and come to a solution. If she doesn’t want to be friends, you should respect her decision and leave her alone even though it hurts you."
