选项
答案ensure — reassure
解析 这里用ensure犯了近义词混淆的错误：ensure和assure都有“保证，使……放心”的意思，但ensure后面不接人，而是ensure sth．或ensure that，如：to ensure the supremacyof the National Party,ensure that it is written into your contract…assure后面往往接人，常接assure sb．that／of这样的结构，如：He hastened to assure me that there was nothingtraumatic to report．They argued that Mr．Mandela must assure himself of broad—based blacksupport．这里从意思上来看还应将assure变为reassure，因为说话人是“再次确认听者在注意听”，它与前面的reestablish相呼应。
