Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank problem, we analyze the context of the story:

For the first blank:

The story is about talent show tryouts. The place where talent show tryouts are usually held is an auditorium. The other options, like classroom (a place for regular classes) and playground (a place for outdoor activities), don't fit the context of talent show tryouts. So the first blank should be filled with "auditorium".

For the second blank:

From the sentence "Everyone clapped for my poem. And much to my surprise, Mr. Hughes said that I definitely got a spot in the talent show", we can see that Rica was at the tryouts for her poem. So the second blank should be filled with "tries out" (the "out" part is what we need to fill here as per the dropdown structure, and the action of participating in the tryouts for the poem makes sense).

For the third blank:

The text says "Everyone clapped for my poem" and "Mr. Hughes said that I definitely got a spot in the talent show" because of her poem. So the third blank should be filled with "poem" (as it is her poem that helped her get a place in the talent show).

Final Filled Sentences:

• Rica’s plan to go to the \(\boldsymbol{\text{auditorium}}\) does not work. She \(\boldsymbol{\text{out}}\) (as part of "tries out") for the \(\boldsymbol{\text{poem}}\) (her poem was the one she presented at tryouts). After, Rica is very happy her poem helped her get a place in the talent show.

(Note: If we consider the dropdowns more precisely, the first dropdown answer is "auditorium", the second dropdown (the verb part) - the correct phrase is "tries out" so the "out" is part of that, and the third dropdown is "poem".)
