advantages
Reasons to choose something
Advantages are favorable conditions or circumstances that give someone a better position than others.
You might have the advantage of experience, wealth, or location.
In sports, advantage indicates a player or team is ahead.
To take advantage of something is to exploit it—positively when using an opportunity, negatively when exploiting a person: He took advantage of her trust.
