In the following passage, some of the words have been left out. Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer for the given blank out of the given alternatives.

It is important for citizens to __(1)__ (understand) the legal and ethical framework that guides the relationship between a source and a journalist. The European Court of Human Rights, in Goodwin v. the United Kingdom, ruled: “Protection of journalistic sources is one of the basic __(2)__ (conditions) for press freedom… Without such protection, sources may be __(3)__ (discouraged) from assisting the press in informing the public on matters of public interest. As a result the vital public __(4)__ (watchdog) role of the press may be undermined, and the ability of the press to provide accurate and reliable information be __(5)__ (harmed)… An order of source __(6)__ (revealing)... cannot be compatible with Article 10 of the Convention unless it is justified by an overriding requirement in the public interest.” Journalists take care not to __(7)__ (confuse) a whistle-blower with a source. There are many unreasonable demands before investigative journalists.

The sentence suggests that the blank must contain a word that means 'revealing'.

Diversion means an alternative. Repertoire is a routine or collection of something. Vitiating means destroying.

The only word that fits the blank is disclosure , which means making known.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
