From an (i) $\(\qquad\)$ and largely unstated, though implicitly understood statement of a man's last wish, industrial societies have evolved highly formal systems of wills, bequeathals, and inheritances. Where once the distribution of a legacy among the extended family after the demise of the head of the family required almost no outside (ii) $\(\qquad\)$ , today we witness loads of paperwork, hordes of lawyers, and other complexities associated with death; ironically, social evolution has not refined our lives, especially when we consider the aspect of law and jurisprudence. (iii) $\(\qquad\)$ authorities have confounded rather than clarified what once was more of a routine family matter.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The text states that 'industrial societies have evolved highly formal systems of wills' and these words suggest that the missing word in the first blank should refer to 'informal systems'. Thus, 'unstructured' best fits blank1. The words 'no outside' which precede blank 2 and the words 'hordes of lawyers' which follow the blank suggest that 'intervention' best fits in blank 2. Though 'interference' also means the same, it is a stronger word than intervention. But the context in the text does not require such a strong word. The words 'what once was more of a routine family matter' suggest that the missing word in blank 3 gives a description of the 'authorities' who have confounded the 'whole issue'. Thus, 'extra- familial' (outside the family) best fits in blank 3. Thus, the answer is $\(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{E}, \mathrm{H}\)$.
