Realize means understand because of what has happened before. In this test, part of a conversation, you need reckon to express the idea of it's my opinion and that is in contrast to what the other speaker says as he thinks (reckons) it's not difficult.

Please read the answer Alan gave in December 2004: http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic1617.html#4810

Also, note the difference between 'difference' and 'different'. Your sentence should read 'explain the difference'.
