Answer (1)
Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: takeaway


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation:

The sentence discusses the findings and observations derived from the annual meeting of federal pollinator experts. In this context, a "takeaway" denotes a crucial insight or lesson extracted from a situation or event.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Standard typically refers to a set level of quality or accomplishment.

A thesis presents a statement or theory and then undergoes discussion or proof. However, it may not be the best fit for summarising a key point from a meeting.

Diffidence refers to a lack of confidence or self-doubt, which is not suitable in the context of summarising findings from a meeting.

Therefore, the correct word is takeaway.
