Difference between Affect and Effect

The most confusing two words of my life. Very close in meanings but differ in their usage. So all those who are trying to hone their English Language skills should know the difference as sometimes you will be judged in your English skills through your usage of words. difference between affect and effect

AFFECT (verb)

“Affect” is a verb, as in “Your ability to communicate clearly will affect your income immensely

Syn: influence, impress1, touch, move, strike

EFFECT (noun)

“Effect” is a noun, as in “The effect of a parent’s low income on a child’s future is well documented.”

By thinking in terms of “the effect,” you can usually sort out which is which, because you can’t stick a “the” in front of a verb.

Syn: consequence, result, outcome, upshot, sequel

BUT BUT BUT, Sometimes these interchange their positions and,

Effect (verb): means to execute, produce, or accomplish something.

Affect (noun): is used primarily by psychologists or lawyer to refer to feelings and desires as factors in thought or conduct.

I am not trying to confuse you. This is just to inform you. However, Don’t use the lower version until and unless you are very sure. But do not reject if you come across such situation. Now judge whether the sentence in picture correct or wrong??

Thanks
