Explanation / Answer

Blank 1: Estoppel

Blank 2: incorporated

Blank 3: Corporation

Explanation: Doctrine of corporation by estoppel, clearly mentions that:

If a business holds itself out as a corporation, and third party deals with it as a corporation, neither party can raise the issue as to whether or not the corporation is validly incorporated.

Also while signing the contract FormFit Concrete, Inc., Market Square has signed the contract with it as a corporation and agreed to its benefits. However, after learning about the involuntary dissolution, Jeremy immediately filed new articles of incorporation under the same corporate name. This shows his intentions were not of dissolution.
