Recently I came across a multiple choice which goes as follow:
Don't worry.The medicine will --- you a good night's sleep.
A. assure B. ensure C. guarantee D. secure
As far as I understand ,neither "assure" or "secure" is appropriate here .What puzzles me is that "guarantee" and "ensure" can both mean "make certain something will happen ",which seemingly,at least for me ,makes either of them suitable here.So I'm dying for some clearing-up here .I would appreciate any help here.Thank you all.
