Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is D. Suppress.
To quell something is to stop it from happening or to make it less intense. For example, you might quell a riot by using tear gas, or you might quell a fire by putting out the flames.
The other options are not synonyms of quell.
- To postpone something is to delay it until a later time. For example, you might postpone a meeting until next week.
- To avoid something is to stay away from it. For example, you might avoid a dangerous neighborhood.
- To complain is to express dissatisfaction or annoyance. For example, you might complain about the service at a restaurant.
