To answer this question, let's analyze the words provided and consider how they might describe someone named Sanjeev.
The list of descriptive words includes:
cheerful

heartless
brave
humorous
careless
Let's look at each of the three sentences separately:
(i) I don't know if Sanjeev was cheerful, ____ or ____.
For this sentence, we are expressing uncertainty about Sanjeev's personality traits. We could include traits that are opposites or not obviously related, such as 'brash' or 'careless'.
(ii) I think that he was very brave, ____ and ____.
In this sentence, we want to include positive traits that complement 'brave'. Potential words could be 'heroic' or 'selfless', as they indicate a strong and courageous character.

Here, we aim to identify traits that are the opposite of 'heartless'. We could use 'cheerful' or 'humorous', suggesting Sanjeev has a warm and positive nature.
So, the completed sentences could be:
I don't know if Sanjeev was cheerful, brash, or careless.
I think that he was very brave, heroic, and selfless.
Sanjeev was not heartless, cheerful, or humorous.
