Choices (A) and (C) can be eliminated, because they do not match “credited.” The correct answer for the first blank is (B), attributed. Now look at the second blank, which refers to a servant class of creatures. The clue for the second blank is looked almost… but were actually artificial clones, so use “similar to” as a word for the second blank. Choice (E), which means open, and (F), which means attractive, can be eliminated because they do not match “similar to.” The correct answer for the second blank is (D), identical. Now look at the third blank, which refers to fascist dictatorships and mass production. The clue for the third blank is the horror of his current world, so use “filled with” as a word for the third blank. Choices (G) and (H) can be eliminated, because they do not match “filled with.” The correct answer for the third blank is (I), scourges. The correct answer is (B), (D), and (I).
