Let's break this down logically.
Step 1 - First blank
The sentence says Lambert is guilty of _______ Nietzsche's conception, a "scholarly transgression."
"Misconstruing" (misinterpreting) fits well here. "Equivocating upon" (being ambiguous about) is possible, but "misconstruing" is a clearer scholarly fault. "Undervaluing" doesn't fit because the issue is about interpretation, not appreciation.
So Blank (i) = B. misconstruing.
Step 2 - Second blank
The transgression results from his propensity to _______ multiple sources.
Later in the sentence: "he liberally combined ideas drawn from numerous works."
So he's blending or merging sources - that's "conflate."
"Enjoin" (urge or command) doesn't fit. "Misquote" is possible, but the key idea is combining, not misquoting.
Blank (ii) = E. conflate.
Step 3 - Third blank
"That his interpretation seems _______ may indeed obscure the fact that he liberally combined ideas..."
If he combined ideas from multiple works, but the result seems cohesive (unified), that would obscure the fact that it's a mix of different sources.
If it seemed "tentative" or "disjointed," that would not obscure the patchwork - it would highlight it.
Blank (iii) = H. cohesive.
