Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4, i.e. discussions.

Context: The sentence is about a training programme for school children which includes trekking and another activity. This activity should be something educational and interactive, matching the theme of saving rhinos.

Meaning of the words:
•⁠ ⁠Disputes – arguments or fights
•⁠ ⁠Declamations – loud speeches or recitations
•⁠ ⁠Discrepancies – differences or inconsistencies
•⁠ ⁠Discussions – talking or exchanging ideas about something

Correct word: The most suitable word is "discussions" because children will talk with experts, ask questions, and learn more about rhino protection. Other words do not fit this learning environment.

Reason: The word "discussions" is commonly used when students or learners interact with experts or teachers. It clearly fits with the idea of a training programme.

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

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
