Explanation:

‘Underdevelopment’ and ‘accelerated progress’ are opposing factors and when opposing factors interact a ‘clash’ or ‘crossfire’ occurs. Thus, both i and ii can be used to fill the first blank. The second blank should have the alternative iii in it as ‘new urban reality’ is being formed because of the interactions of various factors. Thus, option 4 can be negated. ‘Transitions’ mean a period of change. ‘Translations’ mean the process of changing text from one language to another. Hence, keeping in context to the sentence, alternative v is a better fit answer for the third blank.

Only option 3 has alternative v as its choices along with iii and i. This makes option 3 the correct answer.
