Explanation
Choose one word to replace the word in italics.
Option A is the right answer because, in a dispute, a fair-minded person would play the role of a mediator and try to resolve the issue. So ‘mediate’ is the correct word.Option B is incorrect because ‘interrupt’ means ‘to stop someone while they are saying something or to break the continuity.’ A 'fair-minded' person would not 'interrupt' a dispute, but would resolve it. Option C is incorrect because ‘intercept’ means ‘to stop and prevent from continuing’. Although it could be used to mean that the person is 'stopping the dispute', it is not the best option to use with the phrase 'a fair-minded person'. Option D is incorrect because ‘moderate’ means ‘to preside over’ (eg. discussions or meetings). We do not normally use the word 'moderate' for disputes.
Option A is the correct answer because ‘voyage’ means ‘a long journey by sea or space’. Thus, option A is the right option. Option B is incorrect because ‘odyssey’ means ‘a long eventful journey’. Although it is relatively similar ‘odyssey’ is not specifically about a journey by sea hence it is not an appropriate meaning for the given sentence. Option C is incorrect because ‘safari’ means ‘a trip to hunt or observe animals in their natural environment’. Thus, ‘safari’ is not similar in meaning to the given word. Option D is incorrect because ‘flight’ means ‘a journey through air or space’. Thus, it is not a similar meaning to the given word.
