If we give up the dimension of the personal, we (ii)_____ one of the most powerful sites of resistance. The celebration of the personal, however, can indicate a (iii)____, an inability to see how larger structures of the economy and the state circumscribe, if not determine, the fragile realm of individuality.

1. The first blank should follow the pattern of the previous sentence - too much scope and too little scope. Hence, only "too important" fits here.
2. Before solving the second, solving the third becomes more handy. The modifier starting with "an ability to see how larger structures..." is modifying the third blank. Hence, only Myopia suits here.
3. The sentence with the second blank should be contrasting the sentence with the third blank because of usage of "however" in the later. "risk relinquishing" will fit here as the statements suggest that author is of the view not to give up the dimension of personal while at the same time to celebrate it is also considered myopia.
