The first blank is a good place to start. Obviously, no one appreciates abuse. Exploited is trickier, but the text never implies that the abuse is being used to exploit the system. The best choice is suffered. For the second blank, you only need to know what a jury does: they apportion blame, which is a synonym of culpability. Finally, the third blank only makes sense with ledger (you can’t balance imprisonment or a verdict).
Answer: C,D,G
