Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "controversy". The sentence suggests that there was a situation where the parties involved were asked to reach a compromise instead of starting another controversy. Controversy refers to a prolonged public disagreement or heated discussion that often involves a lot of people. Therefore, compromise, which means an agreement between two parties reached by mutual concession, is the opposite of controversy.
