    Solution

    ‘Implication’ which is a noun means ‘the action or state of being involved in something’ and it fits appropriately in the context of both the statements. The third statement requires an adjective and ‘imminent’ fits in the most appropriate way which means something that is ‘about to happen’, ‘forthcoming’ or ‘approaching’.
