Hello,

e.g.
A1 'Thank you for your advice, I'll bear it in mind.'

A2 'Thank you for your advice, I'll keep it in mind.'

Do 'bear it in mind' and 'keep it in mind have the same meaning in the above sentences?

e.g.
B1 'Keep in mind that you'll get nowhere without hard work.'

B2 'Bear in mind that you'll get nowhere without hard work.'

Do 'keep in mind that..' and 'bear in mind that..' have the same meaning in the sentences #B1 and #B2?

Thanks a lot.

A...Both sentences have the same meaning. You need semicolons (or periods) after "advice", not commas. You missed one quotation mark.

B...Again the two sentences have the same meaning. We say '...go nowhere without hard work.'
