muted, interfere, loss
Incorrect Answeroverzealous, intervene, score
Correct Answerhierarchical, demand, hit
Incorrect Answerfanatic ,Meddle, attainment

Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
The deal got stuck because of bureaucratic issues in the Railway Ministry. Fanatic is used in the context of religion and can be eliminated. Passionate shows a positive relationship and can’t be right as the sentence talks about the issue in a negative way. Muted is meaningless.
Thus, Option A, D and E can be eliminated.
Blank 3 can be filled both by Options B and C.
Blank B: Here, option C does not make sense here.
Option B fits in perfectly well with all the blanks.
Hence, Option B is correct.
