Explanation

Rich has a deadline approaching and needs some more time. The storm would have given him a good excuse, but it seems to have changed direction. Its shift, therefore, must have been disappointing to him. He planned to use the excuse to buy himself some more time, so garner works in the second blank. The third blank describes the deadline, which is approaching, so nigh works well.

Hence option B, E and H are correct!
