Hello!
Let's go through the given choices to find which word is a synonym for knocking.
A. Rapping means to strike something, specifically hard, loudly, to attract attention.
B. Ticking means to make sharp, short movements like a clock does.
C. Thundering means to make a loud, deep noise.
D. Popping means to make an explosive sound.
Therefore, the answer is A, rapping because knocking is striking a surface to get attention, which is similar to rapping.

A speech topic that would be appropriate for a group of retirees would be, to me, to explain that once retired from one's main employer life and one's aspirations and drive do not end there. For example, it is still possible to earn money but less strenuously and rigid than punching a clock by, for example doing freelance work on the internet. Also, now that there is more time, one can pursue his/her real interests of say, writing a book, becoming an artist or supporting progressive politics, for example.
