A Correct answer
Explanation

Alter is change; altar is platform for worship. Exclusion is except; consent is accept. No need to change plans, except in case of unforeseen incident. Stare is a gaze; stair is a step up or down. It was the stare of the police officer. Childlike is innocent; childish is silly. Only the childlike behaviour will bring the smiles.
