wasn’t looking, he tried to
the rules!

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context and word meanings with prefixes:

For the first blank (already filled with "ensure" – let's confirm, but the main blank to fill is the last one):

• The sentence is about the dog trying to go against the rules. The prefix dis- means "opposite of" or "not".
• "Disobey" breaks down: dis- (not) + obey (follow). So "disobey the rules" means to not follow the rules, which fits the context (the dog tried to go against the rules when not watched).
• "Envision" means to imagine (prefix en- here relates to "to put into" – not relevant to "rules" context).

Answer:

disobey
