    between the two countries.
    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.
