    The diplomat's ______ speech helped to ease tensions

    between the two countries. The following question carries one statement with one blank. Choose the most appropriate word from the options to fill the blank.
    A inflammatory Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B contentious Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ambiguous Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D conciliatory Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The term "conciliatory" refers to actions or words intended to calm or pacify. In this context, a conciliatory speech would be one that aims to reduce tensions and promote harmony between the two countries. The other options (inflammatory, contentious, ambiguous) would imply a negative or unclear effect on the situation, which contradicts the need to ease tensions.
