Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

The phrase made no sense means it was illogical . It should be replaced with made nonsense of, which means to make something appear stupid thereby making the explanation of the sentence as the peace summit appeared stupid after the aggressive response to the call for moderation.

The other options do not fit with the context of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct statement would be: "The aggressive response after the peace summit made nonsense of the call for moderation."
