Correct Answer: dissolve


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

When making a gargle solution, you want the salt to be thoroughly mixed or blended into the water, forming a solution. The word, dissolve specifically refers to the process of mixing a solid substance (like salt) into a liquid (like water) until it forms a homogeneous mixture.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Cease means to stop or bring to an end.
  • Cast means to throw or cause to fall.
  • Consolidate means to combine or merge into a single, more coherent whole.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: To make your own gargle, dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of lukewarm or partly cooled boiled water.
