Solution

I: We need an adjective to describe the state of the fort. DESOLATE (empty and without people) will fit here as the sentence tells us that the fort was attacked and remained empty and without people until after the Treaty was signed in 1717. II: We need an adjective to describe the feelings of many people. DESOLATE (very lonely and unhappy) will fit here as the sentence tells us that though the quarantine is important at the moment, it makes many people lonely and depressed. Thus, C is the right answer. Forlorn means unhappy and lonely and can fit only in II. Discern (verb) - to see or notice something with difficulty. Viable - capable of working successfully. Tenacious - not likely to give up or let something go.
