Explanation:

To fill in the blank in the first box (the one about "Write your opinion" and "which character is most changed"), we need to understand what the prompt is asking. The key phrases "Write your opinion" and "which character is most changed by his or her experience" tell us that the opinion essay should be about which character (from the two stories) is most changed by their experience in nature.

So the blanks should be filled with "which character is most changed by his or her experience".

The key phrases "Write your opinion" and "which character is most changed by his or her experience" in the prompt indicate that the opinion essay should focus on determining which character (from the two stories) underwent the most change due to their experience in nature. This is derived from analyzing the prompt's requirements and the key words/phrases provided.

which character is most changed by his or her experience
