Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. delegates.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. delegates- a person who is chosen or elected by a group to speak or vote for it, especially at a meeting.
  2. talents- mental strengths that are useful to a pursuit, art, profession, activity or task.
  3. intelligent- having or showing the ability to understand, learn and think; clever.
  4. clever- able to learn, understand or do something quickly and easily; intelligent.

The statement is talking about the "conference" and the chosen option is talking about the "meeting" hence, both match each other.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.

The correct sentence will be-

Around one hundred delegates across the world participated in the conference.
