A formal discussion follows certain rules.

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

The correct option is the first one. The story tells about what Tommy must do in order to properly participate in the school's student council; that is, about what rules he is supposed to follow. The council is a formal environment, and discussions taking place there follow a set of rules, such as using organized notes to represent an idea, listening to others and noting their ideas, and being acknowledged before speaking.

The other three statements are technically correct but do not successfully summarize the story. Statements 3 and 4 are only about certain rules described in the text, and there is no information about informal discussions and their rules, although we can guess that they are different from the ones that apply to formal situations.
