    Solution

    I. It is essential to apprise customers of any delays in their orders. - This sentence uses "apprise" correctly. It means to inform someone of something, especially something important or that needs to be known. In this case, it's essential to inform customers about the delays in their orders. II. 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. While the intention might be to inform the protesters, the context implies appeasing them or making them feel satisfied with the concessions. "Apprise" doesn't convey this meaning of appeasement or satisfaction.
