The answers are B, D and I.
Blank (i): "Aberration" refers to a deviation or change from the usual or expected appearance caused by the curved mirror.
Blank (ii): "Distortion" indicates the alteration or change in the reflected object's appearance, which occurs due to the mirror's curved surface.
Blank (iii): "Discomfiting" reflects the feeling of discomfort or unease that some individuals may experience while looking into such a mirror, indicating that it can be unsettling or disturbing for some.
Therefore, the accurate completion using "aberration," "distortion," and "discomfiting" effectively describes the effect of a curved mirror on the appearance of reflected objects and the discomfort it may evoke in certain individuals.
