Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: stopped
Complete sentence: He has stopped people visiting him at his house because he fears it will cause discomfort to neighbours.
Why this is correct: "Stopped" means prevented or brought to an end, which matches the intended meaning that visits were halted to avoid causing neighbours discomfort. The structure "has stopped" + verb+ing is grammatically natural here.
curtailed — means reduced or limited. It would be more natural with the noun "visits" (for example, "curtailed visits" or "curtailed the number of people visiting"); it does not convey a complete halt as clearly as "stopped."
requested — means asked for or asked someone to do something; it does not mean prevented visits.
warned — means cautioned or informed about danger; it does not imply stopping people from visiting.
