Correct Answer: down


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation:

In this context, the term quiet down is a colloquial expression used to instruct or request people to lower their volume or become silent.

So, the correct sentence would be: As he walked past the chambers, Samir asked everyone to quiet down .
