Do they advise people to take to the hills? (7)
I believe the answer is:
mentors
'do they advise' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'people to take to the hills?' is the wordplay.
'people' becomes 'men' (men are people).
'to take' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'to the hills?' becomes 'tors' (tor is a kind of hill).
'men'+'tors'='MENTORS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mentors that I've seen before include "Trained or experienced advisers" , "Wise and trusted advisors" .)
