A relatively easy one for 3 blanks!
The popularity of electronic books will undoubtedly have (i)__________effect on young readers. In addition to inducing children to be more (ii)__________with their reading, they will drive parents to purchase educational books that were not (iii)__________in the days when only printed books existed.
First blank: As ebooks are popular, it will possibly have a positive effect than a negative one. So the first blank has to be positive in tone A & C have a negative tone. B is the correct choice
Second blank: The author then says in addition, which indicates that the further sentence will have a similar tone as that of the one before it i.e. the books will induce a positive effect in the children. Indolent and backward are not the appropriate fit as the have a negative connotation. Venturesome is the correct option for second blank.
Third blank: Going throught the options for this blank as the blank could be not widely available or cheap or anything which describes the availability of the book. Available if fits the blank. As for the other two are irrelevant and does not have any supporting clue.
Note knowing the overall tone of the sentence supports to find the blank easily and there is high probability that the will an option choice with the opposite tone which is easy to eliminate.
IMO B F H
Hope this helps!
