Coming to Blank II, the context is that there are plastic cups all around the park in the premises of the Rewari Civil Hospital. Among the given words, B can actually mean that the park is full of plastic cups and other garbage.

For blank III, it is clear from the given context that the person was not earning enough and that is why he had to supplement his income with income from other sources. B cannot imply this sense whereas A is correct in order to imply the intended meaning.

III. No one could have foreseen the scale of the disaster

Sentence II. We cannot track them in the mortal world until they use a substantial scale of magic.  The usage of the word ‘scale’ is contextually wrong here and doesn’t make any sense. ‘Amount’ would have been a better word in place of ‘scale’ here.

Sentence III. A surge in the crowd behind him bolted him forwards.  The usage of the verb ‘bolted’ makes no sense in the sentence. Instead of ‘bolted’ the verb ‘jolted’ which means ‘to push or shake (someone or something) abruptly and roughly’ would have been correct here.

Clearly, option C is the correct answer.
