Question

fill in the blanks to explain some benefits of cooperative games. psychologists believe that in cooperative board games the focus shifts from fantasy to real life. as a result, players feel less upset about losing erative games help players understand different failure to success fantasy to real life individuals to the group

Explanation:

To determine the correct phrase, we analyze the context. The sentence is about cooperative board games shifting focus from something related to negative outcomes in games. "failure to success" doesn't fit as it's an odd phrase. "fantasy to real life" is about the setting, not the emotional impact of losing. "failure to success" is incorrect. The correct phrase should relate to the emotional aspect of losing, and "failure to success" is not right. Wait, re - evaluating: the first blank is about what the focus shifts from. In cooperative games, the focus shifts from individual failure (or the idea of failure) to something else? Wait, no, looking at the options: the first dropdown has "failure to success", "fantasy to real life", "individuals to the group". Wait, the sentence says "Psychologists believe that in cooperative board games the focus shifts from [first blank]. As a result, players feel less [second blank (upset about losing)]". So for the first blank, in cooperative games, instead of focusing on individual failure (or the idea of failure vs success? No, "failure to success" is not right. Wait, maybe "individuals to the group" – no, the second part is about feeling less upset about losing. Wait, maybe the first blank is "failure to success" – no, that doesn't make sense. Wait, the correct first blank should be "failure to success"? No, maybe "fantasy to real life" is not. Wait, let's think again. The key is that cooperative games make players less upset about losing, so the focus shifts from something related to losing (failure) to something else. Wait, the options are "failure to success", "fantasy to real life", "individuals to the group". The most logical is "failure to success" – no, that's not right. Wait, maybe "individuals to the group" – no, the emotion is about losing. Wait, perhaps the correct first blank is "failure to success" – no, I think I made a mistake. Wait, the correct answer for the first blank is "failure to success"? No, let's check the context again. The sentence is: "Psychologists believe that in cooperative board games the focus shifts from [first blank]. As a result, players feel less upset about losing." So if the focus shifts from "failure to success" (maybe from the idea of individual failure to group success), then players feel less upset about losing. So the first blank should be "failure to success"? No, that's a bit odd, but among the options, "failure to success" is the only one that relates to the outcome (losing or winning) which would affect how upset players are about losing. Wait, no, "fantasy to real life" is about the game's setting, not the emotional impact. "individuals to the group" is about the focus of the game's goal, not the emotional response. So the correct first blank is "failure to success" and the second is "upset about losing". Wait, no, the second blank is already given as "upset about losing". So the first blank: the correct option is "failure to success"? No, maybe "individuals to the group" – no, I'm confused. Wait, let's re - read the options. The first dropdown options are:

1. failure to success

1. fantasy to real life

1. individuals to the group

The second dropdown is "upset about losing" (already selected? No, the second blank is "upset about losing" as per the text). So for the first blank, in cooperative games, the focus shifts from "failure to success" (maybe from the competitive idea of failure vs success to a cooperative goal) so that players feel less upset about losing. So the correct first blank is "failure to success".

Answer:

First blank: failure to success, Second blank: upset about losing
