Correct Answer: assured
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation: "Assured" means to give confidence or certainty to someone, and it accurately conveys the idea that the captain is providing reassurance to the passengers about their safety.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Suggested: It implies putting forward an idea or proposal, which does not convey the captain's intent to reassure the passengers about their safety.
Pleaded: It means to make an earnest appeal or request.
Advise: It is a verb meaning to offer advice or recommendations.
So, the sentence would be: The passengers were afraid, but the captain assured them that there was no danger.
