On the right, at a distance, you can spot a leper couple with a stray dog for company.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The text provides a description of 'two grounds' - one is the 'affluent family' and the other is the 'leper couple'. And 'the road' clearly separates the two grounds. Thus, 'demarcation' best fits in blank 1 . The words 'an affluent family is hosting a lavish luncheon for friends' suggest that friendliness could be felt in the air and 'bonhomie' which reflects this idea best fits in blank 2. The words 'happiness had perhaps never touched their lives' in the last line of the text indicate that 'melancholy' best fits in blank 3 as it reflects the dejected state of the leper couple. Thus, the answer is C, E, I.
