‘Separatist’ is a person who supports the separation of a particular group of people from a larger body on the basis of ethnicity, religion, or gender. This kind of thought is
called a ‘separatist thought’.
Since the last sentence is in past tense (evident by the use of ‘was’), there must be separated in the blank.

The past tense of hope must be used in the second sentence, as there is no ‘is’ for ‘hoping’ to be used.
The man came on stage feeling confident in outdoing everyone. The word which that must be used here is ‘hoping’.
