a. protect themselves.
b. take fewer risks.
c. get quick rewards.
d. take more risks.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context about adolescents' risk - taking and rewards:

For the first blank (adolescents may...):

The passage states that adolescents have a tendency to take more risks. Option D “take more risks” matches this description. Other options like protecting themselves or taking fewer risks don't align with the given text about adolescents' risk - taking behavior.

For the second blank (in order to...):

The example with choosing between immediate (like £5 now) and delayed (like £30 later) rewards shows that adolescents prefer immediate rewards. Option C “get quick rewards” fits as the context is about their preference for immediate gains which relates to seeking quick rewards. Options about protecting themselves or taking fewer risks are not supported by the text.

Answer:

s:

1. The first blank: D. take more risks
2. The second blank: C. get quick rewards
