Phonetically, puerile might remind you of pure or putrid, but it actually means infantile or immature. Fecund is a synonym for your context clue of lush. Besmirched is soiled, usually in relation to a reputation—it has nothing to do with the soil that is indirectly referenced here. Now moves the sentence in the opposite direction for Blank ii, with barren the opposite of lush and matching the context clues of inhospitable and fallow (uncultivated).
