Model Answer
The correct option is (C) ensure.
"Suitable for someone who wishes to ensure adequate financial backup."
Explanation
- Ensure means "to make certain/guarantee" — fits here as the policy guarantees financial backup.
- Insure means to take out an insurance policy (against risk/loss); it could seem tempting but the sentence is about guaranteeing an outcome, not purchasing a policy.
- Assure relates to life assurance/confidence, but "assure adequate financial backup" is not idiomatic in this context.
- Examiners expect you to know these three commonly confused words; state the answer and the word clearly.
