Force closing is done by swiping halfway up from the bottom of the screen and navigating to Safari and swipe up on it to Force Close it, but when you launch Safari again it will open up to that page as that was the last one viewed so that is not really an answer for you.
You have several options and any one of them will work:
- Tap in the Address field on the bottom of the screen and type something like "apple.com" to take you to a different page.
- Tap the tab icon on the bottom right of the screen that looks like 2 squares and then tap the "x" on the page that looks like that one and any other pages you don't want as a tab. The page that directed you to that one will need removed as well. You can "x" out all of them and it will not be a problem.
- Reset Website data at Settings > Safari > Clear History & Website Data, a prompt will also come up to close all tabs and you should choose Yes.
