Explanation:

The word "imputation" means an accusation or the act of attributing something to someone. In the first sentence, "The imputation was clear; we were meant to find that treasure!", it is used incorrectly as the context does not imply an accusation or attribution. The second and third sentences use it in a more appropriate sense related to implication or attribution.

Answer:

The imputation was clear; we were meant to find that treasure!
