      Solution

      “Clumsy” means: → awkward, → poorly executed, → lacking skill, precision, or smoothness. Sentence I → Correct Poor diplomatic handling can certainly be described as “clumsy.” The sentence appropriately conveys incompetence in negotiations. Sentence II → Incorrect The sentence praises the framework for simplifying the model without reducing precision. Thus, “clumsy framework” contradicts the positive context. Sentence III → Correct Awkward narrative transitions that weaken coherence can accurately be described as “clumsy.” Hence, option (d).
