Answer: (a)

Though both 'hurdles' and 'obstacles' of options (a) and (c) will suit the first blank, 'awarded' and 'guarded' will not be correct in the second blank. So (b) is the answer.

Answer: (b)

Though 'action' of (c) would suit the first blank, 'viable', meaning 'feasible', will not suit the second blank. 'Efforts' of option (b) will not suit the first blank as the word is in plural.

Answer: (a)

'Untarnished' means 'untainted'. Though the first word in all the given options will suit the first blank, only 'zenith' ('the top') will suit the second blank ('ebb' means a state of decline, conveying a meaning opposite to 'zenith'; use of 'brink' would not suit the meaning of the sentence; 'extremity' means 'the terminal or end part' as does 'end')

Answer: (b)

To be 'mired' in something is to be 'entangled' in it; 'mortgaged' means 'pledged' or 'under advance obligation'. 'Engrossed', in option (a), means 'absorbed completely'; 'responsive' in the same option would not suit the second blank. 'Ingrained' means 'deeply rooted'; it cannot apply here. 'Saturated' of option (c) will fit the first blank but 'enveloped' will not be suitable for the second blank.
