The teacher will apprise the students of the upcoming assignments during the class. - This sentence also uses "apprise" correctly. It means to inform someone of something, especially something that needs to be known beforehand. The teacher informing the students about the upcoming assignments fits this definition. III. The government made concessions to apprise the protesters and address their concerns, hoping to restore calm to the streets. - This sentence uses "apprise" incorrectly.
