His wife enjoined him to change his ways.

• A. asked
• B. pleaded
• C. urged
• D. threatened

Answer 1

The correct option is C urged

The highlighted word means 'requested'.

Option C is correct. 'Urged' means 'requested sincerely'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.

Options A, B and D are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.

'pleaded' means 'begged' and 'threatened' means 'warned'.
