pamper
persuade
tell​

Answer 1

The police had to tell the protesters not to block the road.

Explanation:

Explanation for correct answer

• "Tell" is the correct answer because all the other options are not appropriate. The police tell the protestors not to block the road because that is usually the time when people are aggressive and police don't have time to convince them. So, they usually command to clear the road.

Explanation for incorrect answer

• "Aware" is used in the sense of spreading knowledge.

• "Pamper" is used to treat people with care and love which is not in the case of protestors and police.

• "Persuade" is used in the meaning of convincing someone with logic which is again not possible in case of a protest where people are already aggressive.
