Fill in: 'A neutral facilitator will ___ the postmortem discussion.'
We 'moderate a discussion' — the standard collocation for neutral facilitation. 'Boss', 'police' and 'govern' carry the wrong, overly controlling connotation.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'The facilitator should ___ blame from the conversation entirely.'
We 'remove blame' — the standard collocation for a blameless postmortem culture. The other phrasings are awkward or non-idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a shared timeline so everyone agrees on what happened.'
We 'build a timeline' — the standard collocation for constructing the incident sequence. The other options are less natural phrasings.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'Good facilitation helps the team ___ root causes, not just symptoms.'
We 'surface root causes' — the standard collocation for bringing them to light. 'Raise up', 'lift out' and 'bring round' aren't idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'At the end, the facilitator helps the group ___ concrete action items.'
We 'agree on action items' — the standard collocation for reaching consensus on next steps. The other options are ungrammatical or non-standard.
