Answer Blank (i): In the sentence, the professor receives so many questions about a vague comment that she must restate that comment, so you're looking for a word that indicates she must deal with those comments in some way. Choice C, "contend," means "deal." Choice A, "amalgamate," means "combine" and does not make sense in this context. Choice B, "orient," means "situate" and does not make sense either.
Answer Blank (ii): The professor received so many questions she was forced to restate her comment, so the correct answer should indicate an onset or veritable assault of questions. Choice D, "onslaught," conveys this well. Choice E, "paucity," means "lack," which is the opposite of what the correct answer should convey. Choice F, "compilation," means "collection," and it does not make as much sense in this context as "onslaught" does.
Answer Blank (iii): The professor had to restate a vague comment to make it clearer, and "elucidate" means "clarify." Choice H, "obfuscate," means the opposite of "clarify." Choice I, "categorize," means "classify," which does not make much sense in this context.
