    Solution

    Here, ‘add fuel to the conversation’ is inappropriate. If you add salt to a subject or conversation, you make it more interesting. So, the correct idiom is ‘add salt to the conversation’. We should definitely talk to the speaker coming today, as he will surely add salt to the conversation.
