Explanation:

1. For the first blank (the one originally with "motivated" which is incorrect): The subject here is "it" (referring to competition), and we need an adjective to describe how competition is in terms of motivating people. "Motivating" is an adjective that means causing someone to be motivated. So the first blank should be "motivating".
2. For the second blank (the one with the dropdown): The structure is "be + past participle" (passive voice) here, as people are motivated by collaborative activities. "Motivated" is the past participle form of "motivate" and fits the passive voice structure "are + motivated by...".

Answer:

1. The first blank (replacing "motivated"): motivating
2. The second blank (the dropdown): motivated
3. The third blank: motivation
