I don't quite understand the meaning of the sentence. Could you retell it some other way, please?

Hi Gabi,

You should look through the sentences in the whole test to fully grasp the meaning, as the test-questions are closely interrelated. But let me rephrase the given example in a most common way: You talk sense( to repair the wall as it has a huge crack) but anyway I can ultimately repair it.
