Which of the following translates to "to assure"?

  1. Asegurar

  2. Coger

  3. Averiguar

  4. Aumentar

The correct answer is: Asegurar

The translation of "to assure" is "asegurar," which directly conveys the meaning of making someone confident or certain about something. In a practical context, "asegurar" can be used in sentences where one is guaranteeing a fact, promise, or security to someone else. For example, you might say, "Te aseguro que todo estará bien," meaning "I assure you that everything will be fine." The other options have distinct meanings that do not relate to "to assure." For instance, "coger" typically means "to take" or "to grab," "averiguar" means "to find out" or "to investigate," and "aumentar" means "to increase." Understanding these differences is essential for grasping the nuances of the Spanish language.
