Answer 1

The correct option is A The minister explained the steps the government had taken

A press conference is a meeting organised for the purpose of distributing information to the media and answering questions from reporters. Soon after the discussion in the assembly, there was a press conference organised by the health minister. Large numbers of people from different newspapers were present in the press conference. The minister explained the steps the government had taken on a particular situation. This discussion was then reported in different newspapers, which helped the public to know the work done by the government.
