Answer 1

Bet.....I think so!!!!!'''''''...

Answer 2

I bet him to hold his tongue.

Instead of ‘’bid’’ ‘’bet’’ will be used. Because in the given sentence someone is challenging to other to hold his tongue. Therefore, word ‘’bet’’ will be used in a place of ‘’bid’’. In a sentence bid is used when someone gives you offer to buy something or it can be used when someone tries to attempt something. For example- In festivals shopkeepers offer a high bid on products. For ‘’bet’’ we can take example like- My friend made a bet with me that he could finish his homework first.
