Explanation:

The sentence describes Arlo taking a stance that's middle - ground (no absolute right/wrong). The adjective form of "mediate" means "occupying a middle position". Among the options, "central" (from the adjective synonyms of "mediate": central, intermediate, etc.) fits as it conveys a middle - like position in the context of the stance. "Extreme" is an antonym, "interpose" is a verb synonym (not fitting the adjective context here), and "disregard" is an antonym (verb context). So the correct synonym for the adjective "mediate" in this sentence is "central".

Answer:

central
