Cynics assert that (i) $\(\qquad\)$ may be the hallmark of divinity. According to them, all (ii) $\(\qquad\)$ have inherent prejudices and self-interests. Consequently, our judgments get (iii) $\(\qquad\)$ as the subjective element is always bound to creep in.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The missing word in the first blank should provide description of 'The hallmark of divinity'. The word 'but' in the second sentence suggests that the missing word in the blank should be a contrast of the words 'prejudices' and 'self-interests' in the second sentence. Thus, 'disinterestedness' best fits in blank 1. The context in the second sentence and the words'our judgments' in the third sentence indicate that the 'ordinary mortals' fit blank 2. Further, the word 'consequently' in the third sentence suggests that the word that fits in blank 3 should reflect the idea that 'our judgments are governed by our prejudices and self-interests and so are subjective'. Thus, 'colored' best fits the context. Thus, the answer is B, F, H.
