A: What do you think of his speech at the meeting?
B: I think ______ very interesting.
请问:填it is 还是it was? 还是两个都可以?
What do you think of his speech at the meeting?
The prepositional phrase "at the meeting" strongly suggests that his speech was made in the past. If the meeting were still going on, the restricitve attribution would be unnecessary. Therefore, the response to the question should be "It was interesting" but not "It's interesting".
at the meting是个限制性定语,提示会议已经结束,他的发言就是一个过去事件。如果他的发言还在继续,这个定语就属于多余。因此对此问题的回答应该用一般过去时。It was very interesting.

In my opinion, "I think" is unnecessary in answer to this question.
If his speech is in progress now or has just ended, you say“It is very interesting.”
If his speech was yesterday or three hours ago, you say“It was very interesting.”
With respect to this sentence,both answers are right.
I wonder whether you can catch my meaning.
Sorry, I ignored the phrase "at the meeting". It may well refer to the past time as pointed out by Mr. Cao. If it were left out, the two answers would be right.

A: What do you think of his speech at the meeting?
B: I think it is/was very interesting.
First of all, I agree with all the teachers who have given their answers to the above question.
The prepositional phrase "at the meeting"which is used as a postpositive attributive is the key to give a response to the above question. Put it another way, the final answer will be determine by the prepositional phrase "at the meeting"which gives definite meaning in the sentence.
The final response to the above question will depend on the definite and specific meaning that " at the meeting"really conveys.
Both answers are right.
The reasons why I say "both are right" are as follows:
(1)"It is considered to be right that the blank is filled with "it is very interesting "provided/providing that the meeting mentioned above is still progressing.
(2)It is also thought to be right that the blank is filled with "it is was" on the condition that the meeting mentioned above has already came to an end.
