If you choose two blanks, the score of choosing blanks is 8*3+3*4=36, and the total score is 36+48=84.
If you choose three and fill in the blanks with 1, then the score of the fill-in-the-blank question is 7*3+4*4=37, and the total score is 37+48=85. That's right.
So three wrong choices, that is, seven right ones.
