    Solution

    Column I: A. endorsing - This word means supporting or approving. While it might fit in some contexts, it doesn't convey the sense of actively fostering or nurturing, which is needed in the context. B. cultivating- This word is the correct choice as it implies a deliberate effort to promote or develop, fitting well with the idea of Trudeau shaping his domestic political calculus on Khalistani extremists. C. reframing - This word means changing the way something is presented or understood. While it could be relevant in certain situations, it doesn't capture the idea of actively working with or fostering relationships, as needed in the sentence. Column II: D. rhetoric- This word refers to the use of language to persuade or influence, often emphasizing style over substance. In the context, it fits with the idea that Trudeau is dressing up his political calculus with persuasive language. E. dissent - This word refers to disagreement or opposition. While dissent could be part of political discourse, it doesn't convey the sense of presentation and persuasion that "rhetoric" does. F. ideology - This word refers to a system of ideas or beliefs. While ideology can be part of political discourse, it doesn't fit well in the context of Trudeau's specific actions. Column III: G. liberal- This word is the correct choice as it aligns with the political ideology associated with Trudeau. It indicates a certain approach to moralpolitik (political morality) that is consistent with liberal values. H. conservative - This word refers to a political ideology that typically favors traditional values. It doesn't align with the context of Trudeau's actions. I. radical - This word refers to extreme or drastic changes. It doesn't fit well in the context of Trudeau falling back on a time-tested approach, suggesting continuity rather than radical change. So, the correct triplet of words is B-D-G, as they collectively convey the intended meaning in the sentence. So, the completed sentence would be: “In dressing up his domestic political calculus on cultivating Khalistani extremists in the rhetoric about freedom of speech and the rule of law, Trudeau was simply falling back on the time-tested liberal Canadian moralpolitik”.
