1. The only reason she for why she would not enter the topic of debate would be cause she is indifferent. Had she been cognizant or partially opinionated she would have entered the discussion. Hence (i) is indifferent.
2. She was calm before but when she disagreed to an opinion she became argumentative i.e she became cantankerous. Hence (ii) is cantankerous.
3. The issue is not trivial as people are discussing about it, and it is not inscrutable i.e it is not difficult to understand as debates are happening over it. The issue is contentious as it is causing arguments. Hence, (iii) is contentious
