Explanation:

1.

We need a word starting with "s" that has two meanings: one related to a sound made with fingers (like a snap) and one related to a metal fastener (like a snap fastener). The word "snap" fits as it can mean the sound from fingers and a metal fastener.

Looking for a word starting with "l" with two meanings: a lame walk (a limp) and not stiff (limber). The word "limp" can mean a lame walk and also describe something that is not stiff.

We need a word starting with "r" with meanings: using oars to move a boat (row) and a noisy fight (row). The word "row" has these two distinct meanings.

Answer:

snap
