1.The correct answer here is “pestering”. Importuning actually means to pester or harass someone repeatedly for a period of time. We see this here because they are constantly looking for alms which is actually a charity in the form of food or money.

2.The correct answer here is "heinous". “Horrid” is an adjective describing something that strikes fear into the hears of men, causes them to be afraid. Here a synonym and from the line we can see that the answer is “heinous” which also means something scary, odious which this fire is.

3.The correct answer here is "unwieldy". Ponderous means that something is extremely slow and tedious due to the excess load of the item being transported. Here “unwieldy” means also that as the television is enormous and hard to transport. So unwieldy is the synonym here.
