Explanation: (A) "Skewer" as a noun means a long, pointed rod used for holding food during cooking (correctly used in i). "Skewer" as a verb means to criticize severely or ridicule (correctly used in ii). "Skewed" in (iii) means to distort or bias, which is a different word, so (iii) is incorrect. Thus, only (i) and (ii) are correct.
