The blank refers to the nature of the message. The clue for the blank is calmly and without distress. The transition word although indicates a contrast, so use “urgent” as a word for the blank. Choices (B) and (D) can be eliminated because they do not match “urgent.” Choice (A), facetious, which means not serious, and (C), puerile, which means childish, do not match “urgent” and can be eliminated. The correct answer is (E), dire.
