Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each word part and context:

1. For "bene-":

The sentence is about raising money (a good cause). From examples (benefit, etc.), "benefit" (or "benefit event") fits. But the blank needs a noun; "benefit" (event) works.

2. For "leg":

The root means "law". The sentence is about driving at 16 (legal age). From examples ("legally" is an adverb here), "legally" fits (modifies "drive").

3. For "manu":

Root means "hand". The sentence is about a script written by hand. From examples, "manuscript" fits.

4. For "post-":

Prefix means "after". The sentence is about activities after a basketball game. From examples, "postgame" fits.

5. For "un-":

Prefix means "not". The sentence is about not being at ease (with a rude student). From examples, "uncomfortable" fits.

Final Answers (filling blanks):

1. bene-: $\boldsymbol{\text{benefit}}$ (or "benefit event", but "benefit" as noun)
2. leg: $\boldsymbol{\text{legally}}$
3. manu: $\boldsymbol{\text{manuscript}}$
4. post-: $\boldsymbol{\text{postgame}}$
5. un-: $\boldsymbol{\text{uncomfortable}}$
