The harbour authority ____ all vessels to remain anchored until the storm passed.

Single correct option

Choose the option that best fills the blank. The harbour authority ____ all vessels to remain anchored until the storm passed.
  1. A. hinted
  2. B. wished
  3. C. instructed
  4. D. begged
Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) instructed

'Instructed ... to' is the correct pattern for an official order. 'Hinted' and 'begged' do not suit the authority of a harbour office, and 'wished' cannot take the object-plus-infinitive structure in this sense.
