Explanation:

Convert:
1. to (cause something or someone to) change in form or character.
2. to change to a new religion, belief, opinion, etc., or to make someone do this.
Change: to make or become different. This is a synonym of convert and has been aptly used in sentence 1.
Apostate: someone who has given up their religion or left a political party. This is an antonym of convert and has been aptly used in the second sentence.
Translate: to change words into a different language. This is a synonym of convert and is contextually incorrect in sentence 3. It is best replaced by the word ‘conversation’, meaning talk between two or more people in which thoughts, feelings, and ideas are expressed, questions are asked and answered, or news and information is exchanged.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
