    A AAA Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B BBB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C CCC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ABC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E ABC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Contentious –causing or likely to cause an argument. Cleansing –to remove all the dirt or harmful substances. Disputed –to disagree something. The third blank will have the word “disputed” as the region is not peaceful one. It conveys that Azerbaijan claimed full control over the contentious region and it is feared of removing Armenians. The blank cannot take “sacred” which means connected with god or deserving respect. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
