    Solution

    "Convey" means to communicate, express, or make something known through words, actions, or representations. Sentence I correctly uses "convey" to mean "communicate" or "make something known" (the urgency of the situation). Sentence II uses "convey" incorrectly. It should be "assign" or "give," as "convey" refers to communicating or transferring information, not giving assignments. Sentence III uses "convey" incorrectly. It should be something like "match" or "align," as "convey" refers to transferring or communicating something, not matching colours to furniture.
