When Einstein asserted that "God does not throw dice", he was not only (i)___ a common theological position that the world has an order, but also a deep intuition that the world is as it is in a (ii)____ sense. It is no (iii)_____.
Clues:
"asserted" and "god does not throw dice" - Which basically means the he is correct saying that the world has not being made by randomness.
Hence, in the first blank we can faslty eliminate "jettisoning (throw away)" and "attacking" because we have to choose something related with "accepting" and order... he was not only (i)___ a common.....that the world has an order"
Then second and third blank should be opposed ones...
So if we are choosing that wold has and order then "accidental" is out, we stay with primordial and necessary and move to the third one...
Third one should be opposed to "order" so the only option would be "accident"
Return to the second one... If the third one is "an accident", then the second one need to be something like "the world is not an accident but the way it should be..." the best option then would be "necessary"...

Don't understand these clues, I can "assert" you are wrong or right while we do not know the common theological position. So why must we choose something related to accepting?
Please explain.
If the second blank is filled (most doubtful), the third one makes perfect sense but
if he attacked, then it makes sense that the world is evolving in a primordial sense therefore it is no accident/spontaneity as evolution is a slow sure process.
Also, who says "necessary sense".....
ONLY way I could have guessed the correct is this (CORRECT ME IF THIS IS A BAD STRATEGY)
3rd blank- spontaneity and accident are similar, as are attacking/jettisoning (less so).
Thus choosing an unrelated word makes sense if the degree of strength in synonyms is not the same.
