The word underlined is "quelled", which has a more appropriate meaning is "muffle"
<h2>Further explanation
</h2>
The word "quelled" is often used in accidents such as houses, forests, offices, etc.
Therefore the word "quelled" is not appropriate when used in sentences about riots. If a riot occurs, then the right word is "muffle" or "try to calm down". Because riots are identical with a group of people who are emotional and demanding or rejecting something they did not accept.
