A
aver
💡 Explanation:
Assert means to state a fact or belief confidently and forcefully. Aver means to state or declare to be true, which is the closest in meaning. Asseverate also means to affirm solemnly but is less common. Allege means to claim without proof, which differs from assert's confidence.
