D) estimated,use 
E) determined, assistance
Solution:

Ans: (b) declared, habitation

When some authority or power is used, people use the word “declare’; so the right word for the first blank is (b) “declared’, and the meaning of ‘habitation’ is “the act of living in a place.” So the right pair of words is (b). Other pairs do not fit the blank because of their unsuitable meanings.

Example sentences:

The government has declared a holiday on the occasion of the festival. 

That house is no longer suitable for habitation; a wilderness area has few habitations.
