Help the exhausted camper complete their diary entry about a disastrous trip by choosing the correct reporting verbs.
When our tent collapsed in the pouring rain, Leo _________________________ to fix it himself. However, Mia _________________________ waiting in the car until the storm passed. In the end, the park ranger _________________________ us to pack up and go home.

offered

We use offer + to + infinitive (offered to fix). "Suggest" is followed by an -ing verb or a that clause, and "advise" usually needs an object (advised someone to fix).

suggested

We use suggest + verb-ing (suggested waiting). "Tell" and "ask" require an object and a to-infinitive in this context (told us to wait / asked us to wait).

advised

We use advise + object + to + infinitive (advised us to pack). "Say" and "suggest" cannot be followed directly by an object pronoun like "us" in this way.
