Explanation:

- The passage describes the growing popularity of pigeon racing in China, highlighting the involvement of both the elite and middle class.

- The chosen word should appropriately follow the name and title of Sun Yan, who holds a position in the Beijing Racing Pigeons Association.

- Option 1: "told" suggests Sun Yan directly communicated information to someone. However, it generally requires specifying who was told.

- Option 2: "said" simply reports what Sun Yan stated, making it a versatile choice for quoting someone's statement without needing additional context.

- Option 3: "advised" connotes giving guidance or recommendations, which is not fitting here as it's just a statement about numbers.

- Option 4: "clarified" implies explaining or making something clear, which doesn't match the context of just reporting a number.
