The correct answers are (i) C. life-threatening, (ii) D. remission, and (iii) G. not recur.
Explanation
This sentence follows a logical progression from a dangerous medical intervention to a positive outcome:
- Blank (i): The phrase "aggressive course of treatment" combined with "in itself could be..." suggests the treatment was risky. Life-threatening (C) fits the "aggressive" nature of the therapy. Refulgent (A) means shining brightly, and life-enhancing (B) would contradict the idea that the doctor was simply "thankful" the patient survived the process.
- Blank (ii): In a medical context, when a disease is no longer active or the symptoms have disappeared, it has gone into remission (D). Quarantine (E) and sequestration (F) both involve isolation, which doesn't fit the context of a disease's status after treatment.
- Blank (iii): Because the doctor is "thankful" and the disease is in remission, the news he gives the patient must be positive. Therefore, he would say symptoms might not recur (G) for many years. Persist (H) would mean the symptoms stay, and malinger (I) means to exaggerate or feign illness to escape work.
