Please read the following sentences, analyze them and tell us what the three words you posted mean.

The dry crisp tone of the side-drum makes it an ideal instrument for emphasizing and giving clearness to rhythmical patterns of almost any speed and intricacy.

Other habitat losses have resulted from farm mechanisation which, requiring larger and more conveniently-shaped fields, has resulted in much hedge and scrub clearance.

Hartzell claim improved take-off and climb performance, reduced noise and vibration, and better ground clearance.

This development, privatized using an Urban Development Grant in the early 1980s, was not originally associated with slum clearance and was actually more expensive per unit than the traditional housing being built at the same time.

However, the issue was decided by the Civil Engineers, who conducted clearance tests at very short notice, and found that most station platforms would need the platform edging stones setting back.

The position I have tried to adopt is that whilst the atheist must demand clarity, the theist can argue that the nature of his or her task necessitates a use of language that is bound to be criticised as unusual, although it cannot be allowed to be contradictory.

In the context of their own writing and that of a range of published writers, pupils should learn that, in evaluating the success of a piece of writing, different criteria need to be applied to different types; for example, a personal letter may be valued for its warmth and humour, a report for the clarity of its organisation, and so on.

In recent years the clarity and compassion of the ‘dissenting voice’— that of the liberal Protestant, allied to radicalism, socialism and even nationalism — has seemed to fade into the mists of history, gravely neglected by historians, often drowned by the sectarian rhetoric of extreme loyalism.

Clearness means a bit the same as clarity, clearance seems to have many meanings though one of them is the act of clearing.
