## Answer

With the aim of liberalizing and de-monopolizing the energy market, and the natural gas market along with it, special companies **dealing** with energy were introduced. These companies **perform** the job of traders and suppliers of individual market categories with the usage of the aforementioned technological infrastructure. In such conditions, it is necessary to **define** special rules of behavior for all the **participants** in the energy sector.

## Explanation

Blank 1 comes before "with energy," and "dealing with" means working in an area. "Tackling" is the trap, but it takes a direct object and suggests solving a problem. Blank 3 follows "necessary to" and comes before "rules," so you need "define." "Reform" means change existing rules, and "confine" means limit.

## Hints

- Look at the words immediately preceding and following each blank to determine the required part of speech.
- Consider the overall theme of energy market reform when selecting the most appropriate vocabulary.
