1. b
Explanation: Here, we are talking of two functions of communication, one of which is honourable, and the other not so desirable (as can be inferred from the use of ‘while’ in the beginning of the sentence.) Conceal fits best in the second blank.
2. d
Explanation: In (a) ‘enhanced’ is wrong because it speaks of mismanagement, enhanced means to better.(c) is inapplicable because it can’t be ‘checked’ by mismanagement, it can degrade. There is a close call between (b) and (d). But d has a more severe effect as erosion caused by humans is destructive, so d.
3. a
Explanation: ‘Malice’ is the best adjective to describe ‘the wicked’. The rest do not fit in well.
