“my new puppy is adorable
i just lo
how cute he is!” said nakia. “the only
problem is nourishment
on all my stuff
even if it’s r breakable
to hide
everything breakable
, or he woul
destroy it.”

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context and suffixes:

For the first blank (after "is"):

The sentence describes the puppy as cute, so we need an adjective. The suffix -able (from "adorable") forms adjectives meaning "capable of being" or "having the quality of". "Adorable" means "lovable, cute", which fits the context of describing the puppy.

For the second blank (after "it’s"):

The context is about hiding things to prevent the puppy from destroying them, so we need a word for items that can be broken. The suffix -able (from "breakable") means "capable of being broken". "Breakable" describes objects that can be broken, so it fits here.

For the third blank (after "everything"):

The sentence continues the idea of hiding breakable items. "Breakable" (again with -able) is the correct adjective to describe the things the puppy might destroy.

(Note: If the task was to fill these, the answers are "adorable" (first), and "breakable" (second and third) based on suffix meaning and context.)

Answer:

First blank: adorable
Second blank: breakable
Third blank: breakable
