OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are B, E, and G.
Answer Blank (i): The sentence indicates that the queen might be forced to give up her position to her son because of her health, so it makes sense that her health is in poor condition. Choice B, "feeble," means "poor." Choice A,"robust," is the opposite of "feeble." Choice C, "cautionary," means "warning" and does not make sense in this context. Answer Blank (ii): To take on the role of king is to assume it, so choice E is the best answer. Choice D, "convey," means "express," and choice F, "furnish," means "supply," and neither of these words makes sense in this context.
Answer Blank (iii): To "abdicate" a throne is to give it up, which is possibly what the queen will have to do because of her health. Choice H, "nullify," means "abolish," and it is unlikely she would do away with the throne completely simply because she was no longer fit to occupy it. Choice I, "arbitrate," means "judge," which does not make sense.
