Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. includes.

Context: The sentence tells us about what the three-day programme contains. It says the programme has trekking in the park and something else with experts. So, we need a verb that means "has" or "contains."

Meaning of the words:
•⁠ ⁠Inspires – motivates or encourages
•⁠ ⁠Includes – contains as part of the whole
•⁠ ⁠Extends – stretches or continues
•⁠ ⁠Exudes – gives off (a smell, feeling, or quality)

Correct word: The most suitable word is "includes" because the sentence is about the activities that are part of the programme. The other words do not match this meaning.

Reason: The verb "includes" fits perfectly here, as we are talking about the components of the programme – trekking and discussions. The other options are unrelated to the idea of listing programme contents.

Final Sentence: The three-day programme includes trekking in the park and discussions with experts.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
