    A AAB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ABA Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ABB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D BAB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E BBB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    1.       (d) 1- We need to replace SUBSISTENCE (the action or fact of maintaining or supporting oneself, especially at a minimal level) with EXISTENCE (the fact or state of living or having objective reality). 2- We need to replace TRENCH (a long, narrow ditch) with TRENDS (a general direction in which something is developing or changing). We need a noun to be modified by the adjective DANGEROUS. 3- We need to replace IMPRACTICAL (not adapted for use or action; not sensible or realistic) with IMPARTIAL (treating all rivals or disputants equally). Since BAB is the correct combination, (d) is the right answer.
