The best answer for the first blank is contend. This answer best reflects that there is a debate among scholars.
The best answer for the second blank is coterie. A coterie is a group of people, whereas a menagerie is a group of animals; gild would be a possible answer, but gild here means to coat in gold.
The best answer for the third blank is cohesive style. The entry refers to a seamless collaboration between writers as a style, rather than a particular tone within the writing.

First blank: contend is correct because it fits the argumentative narrative.
Second blank: coterie fits here better than gild. Gild sounds similar to guild (which is an association of merchants) and must not be confused with it.
Third blank: cohesive style is correct. If there are multiple authors, then the idea is the multiple authors should be synced in producing the style of WS. Its extravagance would not be counted in the first stage.
