To make the most out of this exercise, I recommend you do the following format:

  1. Figure out a prediction for the blank
  2. Figure out what idea your prediction of the blank is supporting or contrasting
  3. Find the word/phrase/punctuation that indicated you were supposed to support/contrast this idea.

Blank 3 should be solved first, then Blank 1, and finally Blank 2.

For Blank 3:

  1. corrupt
  2. support: depraved
  3. and

For Blank 1:

  1. problems
  2. support: Isabella, the new queen…engendered much instability.
  3. .

Now you can try for Blank 2.
