Question

Fill up the blank with suitable alternatives given: The crew was afraid, but the captain ______ them that there was no danger.

• A. promised
• B. advised
• C. assured
• D. commented

Hint:

Use "assured" when you want to give someone confidence or certainty about something.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The correct word is "assured," which means to tell someone confidently that something will be fine or not to worry about something. "Promised" means to commit to do something, "advised" suggests giving counsel, and "commented" refers to making a remark, but none of these fit as well as "assured" in this context.
