Randall Curry · Answer 1

C, C, and C are the correct answers.

Explanation:

In the first question, the word hue can be substituted with color, since they are synonyms.

The second answer is wants, since in British English the word can be used as a synonym for a desire, something that somebody wants.

Uncertain is the last answer since it means unsure or uncertain.
