"interlocutors" does not fit well with the word "dangerous" before it.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: In the following passages, some of the words have been left out. First read the passage over and try to understand what it is about. Then mark the option with the help of the alternatives given.


Kim Jong Un is a “smart cookie,” President Donald Trump said of North Korea’s leader in April 2017. Smart enough, it seems, to _(a)_ a face-to-face meeting. President Trump’s acceptance of Kim’s invitation to discuss North Korean denuclearization is a stunning move that some have greeted as a potential _(b)_ and others have decried as a massive risk. If he does indeed meet with Kim, Trump will need to understand what makes the North Korean leader tick. Finding the answer to this _(c)_ question will require figuring out how the North Korean leader sees the world. Although Trump will be the first sitting US president to meet with a North Korean leader, he will be far from the first president to try to understand a foreign statesperson. As was the case with _(d)_ such as Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and Nikita Khrushchev, figuring out a dangerous international _(e)_ is once again an urgent national security challenge.

Mark the correct option for blank _(e)_.

Options:
A)

interlocutor

B)

interperson

C)

ambassador

D)

mediator

Solution:

Ex: Interlocutor that means a person who talks on behalf of someone else would be the correct word fitting contextually in the paragraph.

Interperson is not any word for a person.

Ambassador meaning an accredited diplomat sent by a state as its permanent representative in a foreign country.
Mediator meaning a person who attempts to make people involved in a conflict come to an agreement; a go-between.
