[amp_mcq option1=”Postpone” option2=”Avoid” option3=”Complain” option4=”Suppress” correct=”option4″]
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.
