A. a contagious disease that is devastating

B. to obstruct or hinder

C. great abundance

1. But first let me tell of the rooms in which it was held. These were seven—an imperial suite. In many palaces, however, such suites form a long and straight vista, while the folding doors slide back nearly to the walls on either hand, so that the view of the whole extent is scarcely impeded.

2. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men.

3. The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal,or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood.

Answer:

1. impeded - B. to obstruct or hinder

2. profuse - C. great abundance

3. pestilence - A. a contagious disease that is devastating

Explanation:

1. To impede means to hinder, to obstruct, or even to delay or to prevent. For instance: The scientist's progress was impeded by the lack of funds.

2. Profuse is an adjective that describes something that is abundant, that is, something that exists in great amount. For example: Even though his words were profuse, they were still not enough to express his gratitude.

3. Pestilence is an archaic word that was used to refer to a fatal disease, especially an epidemic. When the bubonic plague was killing thousands of people, pestilence was used to refer to it.

→When little lights in little ports come out,←
Quivering down through water with the stars,
And all the fishing fleet of slender spars
Range at their moorings, veer with tide about;

When race of wind is stilled and sails are furled,
And underneath our single riding-light
The curve of black-ribbed deck gleams palely white,
And slumbrous waters pool a slumbrous world;

Then, and then only, have I thought how sweet
Old age might sink upon a windy youth,
Quiet beneath the riding-light of truth,
Weathered through storms, and gracious in retreat.
