    C Only 1 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All 1, 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    First blank - we need a noun here to be modified by the adjective BROAD. The sentence talks about how there is an agreement that wetlands can protect coastlines. CONSENSUS and UNDERSTANDING will fit here. AGREE is a verb. Second blank - we need a verb here in the past participle form to fit in the present perfect tense construction HAVE + VERB. ESTIMATED, MEASURES and EVALUATED can all fit here, as the sentence talks about how researchers have not yet gauged how the benefits will translate into dollar values.
