Explanation

Blank (v) refers to Ram Singh's communications ('his ___ with his'). 'Orations' means formal speeches, which fits a stern military figure addressing subordinates. 'Homily' is a moral lecture (usually religious). 'Pensive' is an adjective meaning thoughtful (incorrect part of speech). 'Bickering' means petty arguing (uncharacteristic of someone described as stern and disciplined).
