Answer:

Hi! Even though you didn't mark on bold the words in each excerpt, I think I could realize which are those words. If my assumptions are correct, then this would be the answer:

1. C: to combine or integrate.

2. A: to be revealed.

3. B: to mark with spots.

Explanation:

1. The first I grafted and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into new tongue.

In this sentence, to graft means to put together, to mix.

2. It may be you transpire from the brests of young men,

In this sentence, to transpire means to happen, to take place.

3. Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river

In this sentence, to mottle means to mark with spots, to smears of colour.
