Explanation:

A discussion is a communicative situation between two or more participants in which the main purpose is to exchange the perspectives, arguments, and opinions the participants have about one specific subject or topic. Additionally, for a discussion to be effective, it is necessary all the participants are able to communicate, the discussion aims its main purpose and the process of interaction keeps going. For doing this, there are different discussion techniques that can be used including leading the discussion, problem-solving technique, using evidence to make a point, asking questions, etc.
