Correct Answer A-B,C-D
The correct answer is option 4
- Generally, the verb talk is followed by the preposition to but here it is a noun so either one's talk will be about someone or something or with someone.
- So the word talks will fit in place B.
- If talks go to B, a visit will come in the place of A.
- Bilateral is an adjective that will not be preceded by an article but the word affirmation is a noun which of course can be used after the article. Moreover, the word that follows the article an has to begin with a vowel sound. Therefore, bilateral and affirmation would be interchanged to make the sentence meaningful.
