3) Answer: d)
travelled, expressing, thorny
Options A and D are close but within the context of the statement, option D is suitable here.

Lack and dearth are synonymous to each other but you should use ‘contribute’ instead of ‘render’ in the 3rd gap.
5) Answer: a)
revealing, legislation, prohibiting
Keeping in mind the context of the passage, only A is suitable, as for D ‘cancelling’ is not an appropriate alternative.
6) Answer: b)
refuse, demand, despite
Both despite and although are suitable connectors but for a plural entity you cannot use ‘has’.

Spearhead means to lead. Option D is discarded because you cannot use ‘failed’ in the current context.

Option C is the most suitable combination of all the choices. Affidavit is more suitable than complaint here.
