Explanation:

"Imploring" means begging or pleading earnestly, which fits the context of the zoo volunteer's action after an orangutan became agitated. "Petitioning" is more formal and often related to a written request. "Compelling" means forcing or making something necessary, which doesn't match the pleading tone.
