The part of the sentence ....to secure themselves financially at the expense of the poor tells that the first blank contrast with secure, so dangerous is the best fit. The second and third blanks should be in contrast with concern and motivate, so distort and diminished are the best choices. Also, note that only distort and diminished were the only two negative options available.
