ignore him entirely
think well of him
rified by the idea of being interviewed, or even
after vijay teases him, reggie realizes that he wants others to
. when reggie pushes himself to do the interview, it shows
that he is .

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context of Reggie's character development:

1. For the first blank (after "wants others to"): The phrase "think well of him" fits because Reggie, after being teased, would want others to have a good opinion of him. "Suggest he drop out" and "ignore him entirely" don’t make sense in this context (he wouldn’t want others to drop him out or ignore him).

1. For the action of pushing himself to do the interview: This shows he is overcoming his fear (implied by being “terrified by” the interview earlier) and trying to gain others’ positive opinion, so the choice "think well of him" is logical for what he wants from others.

• For the first relevant blank (about what Reggie wants others to do), "think well of him" is correct because Reggie’s realization after being teased aligns with wanting others to have a positive opinion. Other options like "suggest he drop out" or "ignore him entirely" contradict the context of seeking approval.
• The action of pushing himself to interview supports that he wants others to "think well of him" as he is trying to overcome his fears to gain positive regard.

Answer:

(For the blank "wants others to") think well of him
