Correct Answer: be quiet


Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

The original sentence has a spelling error; "quite" should be "quiet". "Quiet" means to make little or no noise, which is the intended meaning in this context. So, "be quiet" is the correct substitution that rectifies the spelling error and maintains the intended meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The teacher asked the students to be quiet during the exam.
