Expert Solution
Step 1: Acidity of alkynes

Terminal alkynes having hydrogen is attached to sp carbon is acidic in nature becuase in sp hybridization there are 50% s character. Hence, this carbon is more acidic as compared to sp2 and sp3 carbon. 

The acidic hydrogen is abstracted and produces the carbanion.
