Verbal Ability - Selecting Words - Discussion

When talking something which is not understalandable, we can say it as talk.

Saying and telling is a transfer of information from one person to another person while talking is mutual sharing of info between two persons. Here in the context listened is mentioned, so it involves two persons in the scene. So talking is the right answer.

Discussing means when two or more persons exchanging their ideas or information, but above question he listened but he had no idea what other person was talking about, so talking is the answer for that. We use 'talking' when only one person sharing information.

Tell is used only to instruct or inform, and when the receiver of the information is included as an object of the verb. Do not use for quotes.

Has she told you the good news, yet? Please tell us your name and occupation.

The police officer told him to stop. [NOT The police offer told him, "Stop"].

Can you tell me what happened?

Say is used for exact quotes, and when the receiver isn't mentioned in the sentence:

"Good morning", said the woman behind the counter.

I just stopped by to say hello. I said three words before he interrupted me again.

How we differentiate between saying and telling?

When do we use the word telling.

Where to use discuss? Can anyone please explain?

Discuss means both of them involved in talk on things which they Know.

Hence talking is the right answer.

Guys simple talking always comes when we are not understanding the content. Ex: in our class teacher will always shouts like STOP TALKING but not STOP SAYING (so he/she is not getting what we are talking about). In the question he is not getting what the opponent is saying so TALKING will come.
