OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The missing word in the first blank should describe the society i.e., the society that 'embraced the tenets' of market economy. The words 'policies ......assign a monetary value to sacredness of life' in the second sentence and the words 'have not felt comfortable' suggest that 'crass commercialization' best fits in blank 2. The missing word in blank 3 should explain the 'repercussions' of crass commercialization i.e., an 'irreparable damage' is done to filial and societal bindings. Thus, 'breached irreparably' best fits in blank 3. Thus, the answer is B, D, G.

The phrases which describe life insurance as assigning a "monetary value to the sacredness of life" and something that "can be purchased" clearly prove that they social thinkers are talking about a society that has embraced the tenets of a market economy.
The fact that life insurance assigns a monetary value to the sacredness of life itself, makes crass commercialization the best choice for the second blank. Clearly, regular desecration is a trap answer, and should be rejected.
Now since the protection originally offered to widows and their wards by self-help groups, neighbors, family and friends can now be purchased, it has certainly breached irreparably the filial and social bindings. To rescind means to cancel, revoke or repeal an order, law or agreement and doesn't make sense here.
The correct choices are B,D,G.
