The clue for the first blank is Eleanor found her voice, it should be the opposite of it. So, Eleanor was diffident back then. The second blank is something that she learnt from Madamoiselle Souvestre’s tutelage, so it must be some positive word and hence it is fineese. Third blank is easy, the three years of life must have a impact that would last a lifetime.
