A.I. Explanation:

Correct answer: one
Explanation: The word 'one' serves as a determiner that indicates a singular noun, which fits grammatically as it refers to 'one of the buzz words.' This aligns with the context of discussing a specific term related to overpopulation.
Meaning: 'One' refers to a single item or concept, in this case, indicating that overpopulation is a singular buzzword.
Wrong options:
other: The word 'other' is a determiner that refers to additional items, which does not fit here as it implies more than one, while the sentence specifies a singular buzzword.
over: The word 'over' is a preposition that does not function as a determiner and does not fit grammatically in this context.
after: The word 'after' is a preposition that indicates time or sequence, which does not relate to the context of identifying a buzzword.
out: The word 'out' is an adverb that does not serve as a determiner and does not fit the grammatical structure of the sentence.
inside: The word 'inside' is a preposition that indicates location, which does not fit the context of identifying a buzzword.
Correct answer: over
Explanation: The word 'over' functions as a preposition indicating the action of being overwhelmed or dominated by something, which fits contextually as it describes the situation of developed areas being taken over by refugees.
Meaning: 'Over' indicates a state of being overwhelmed or surpassed by something, in this case, refugees.
Wrong options:
other: The word 'other' does not fit as it does not convey the sense of being overwhelmed and is not a preposition.
one: The word 'one' is a determiner that does not fit the context of describing the action of being run by refugees.
after: The word 'after' is a preposition that indicates time or sequence, which does not relate to the context of being run by refugees.

inside: The word 'inside' is a preposition that indicates location, which does not fit the context of being run by refugees.
Correct answer: out
Explanation: The word 'out' serves as an adverb that indicates removal or exclusion, fitting grammatically and contextually as it describes the action of dismissing the argument.
Meaning: 'Out' indicates the action of discarding or rejecting something, in this case, the argument about overpopulation.
Wrong options:
other: The word 'other' does not fit as it does not convey the action of removal and is not an adverb.
one: The word 'one' is a determiner that does not fit the context of describing the action of throwing something out.
over: The word 'over' is a preposition that does not convey the meaning of exclusion or removal in this context.
