1. The second and the third blanks are easy to fill. The thinkers have objected Arendt's views and hence "criticism" will fit in second blank. Likewise, with contrast introduced through "however", the third blank will be supported by "concur with".
2. The first blank is slightly tricky and the clue is in the subsequent sentence "asocial understanding of the proper content". The issue is with the content. Hence, only "exclude" will fit in the first blank.

A notorious feature of Arendt‘s political theory is her assertion that strictly political debate, deliberation, and concerted action (i) _____ social and economic issues.

Both thinkers, however, despite their (ii)_____ of Arendt, (iii) _________ her in distinguishing between conceptions of politics based on rulership and those based on action in concert.
The fact that many of Arendt's critics have objected to this asocial understanding of the proper content of politics along with the phrase "a notorious feature" and the adjective strictly qualifying political debate, all point to a theory that divorces politics from society and economics. Hence exclude is the best choice.
The next sentence talks about her critics who "despite their_____Arendt, _______ her in ...." indicating a contrast between both the blanks. We know that they are critical of Arendt, thus making criticism the best choice for the second blank, and concur with for the third blank.
Thus the correct answer choices are B, F and G.
