Correct Answer: Hush


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

"Alas" is typically used to express sorrow, regret, or disappointment. In the given sentence, it doesn't convey the right sentiment for the context, which is about maintaining silence in the library. "Hush" is a more suitable choice as it directly implies a need for quietness.

"Hurrah" and "wow" do not fit the context as they express excitement or surprise.

Therefore, the substituted sentence becomes: "Hush! Don't make a noise in the library."
