Answer:

  1. Monsieur Ernest Defarge
  2. The knitting of Madame Defarge, wife of Monsieur Ernest Defarge
  3. The record is kept secret, because knitting is something common that does not arouse suspicion.

Explanation:

The question above shows an excerpt from "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens. The excerpt is presented by Monsieur Ernest Defarge. He is talking about a record that is kept secret. This record is the knitting of his wife Madame Defarge, who knits information in code form about the people she and her husband want to kill, for some reason. Nobody is suspicious of this record, because knitting was something very common to be done by women at the time, besides, it was impossible for anyone to be able to unveil the code contained in the knitted piece.
