Explanation:

The given passage is about a project for urban development in China. Thus, the first blank should have the word ‘urbanization’ in it as it refers to the process of making an area more urban. So, options B and C can be negated as they don’t have alternative ii. The second blank is preceded by the word ‘strategy’ which refers to a plan of action designed to achieve a long-term or overall aim. Thus, this plan needs to made. ‘Speculated’ means to form a theory without substantial evidence. ‘Formulated’ means to create or prepare methodically. ‘Forecasted’ means to predict or estimate. Thus, ‘formulated’ is the correct word for the given second blank as it would indicate that the said ’strategy’ is being created or prepared. Since alternatives ii and iv have to be used, it remains to be seen if alternative vi can fit the third blank. The mentioned ‘strategy’ as per the passage is not only required for sustainable cities but also for a developed urban society. ‘Necessity’ means the state or fact of being required and is the correct word for the given blank.

This makes option 4 the correct answer.
