Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. probably.

In this context, "probably" indicates that there is a high likelihood or strong possibility that if everyone in Daniel's country and on the other side were to communicate their thoughts and concerns to their respective governments, there would be no more wars.

It suggests that Daniel believes this outcome is quite likely to occur if people engage in dialogue and communication with their governments.

The use of "probably" reflects Daniel's optimism or confidence in the potential effectiveness of this approach in preventing conflicts and promoting peace.

The most appropriate option to fill in blank number 5 is: probably.

So the sentence would be: "He knows one opinion does not matter much, but he also knows that if everyone in his own country and on the other side would do this, there will probably be no more wars."
