I am not sure I can explain why but I will try. First of all, the first sentence is missing something... Is it maybe a force that IS strong? Or a strong force...? I think the answer is tremendous because tremendous means extremely large effects. Second answer is attitude because before you go or meet someone from a different culture you have those attitudes you believe in and sometimes you are surprised to find out they are wrong. The third one, I am not sure... Hope that helps...

My answers would be:

1. tremendous
2. attitude
3. assume

my reasons?

1. the impact of a volcano must be tremendous indeed
2. what can and should be changed but attitude?
3. I think assume is the only verb that fits, don �t really know why.

I �d love to know the correct answers. Is there a native speaker near here?

ASSUME: Look at the meanings of assume:
It can also mean to take on
 
The market vendors take no responsibility for the crowds that are caused in the street when they have their stalls there. "It �s not our fault the street is blocked."
 
ATTITUDE: We could also change our behaviour, but attitude means the way we think as well, so this is what needs to change. Attitude is the right answer.
 
TREMENDOUS: This is the only word that describes the amount of damage done by the volcano - the lava, ash etc. in the surrounding area. The volcano has a damaging effect.

 In #3, it should be "mess", not "mass" that they create.

@ Bruce : MESS makes much better sense. :-)
