Question

i let it play all the way until the end before i open my eyes. and when i do, i feel calm and happy—that mood that only music can make.
\its a good song,\ i say.
\its a good song, a great song, by the white stripes. my dad hates it, though. he only listens to country.\
i laugh. finally, something we have in common.
\yeah, my mom, too.\
\oh, yeah?\
its the first time ive mentioned mom, and i can tell hes waiting for me to say more. but he lets it go when i dont. instead, he says, \the reason i played you that song... is that im glad i met you. youre my story lia, got it?\
i do not. he barely knows me. and it could either be super creepy or super sweet. but i think of all those lonely days, just me and mom, and all the random schools where i never even got close to being friends with anybody, and i think, yeah, i kind of do get it.

① what happens when lina and well talk about music?

② they learn they have some common and then begin to
start to connect
talk for longer
learn more songs

Explanation:

From the text, when they talk about music, it says "Finally, something we have in common" and later the interaction shows they find a common ground (shared interest in music, or at least a connection through the song discussion). The first blank's context (after "They learn from the... and then begins there") and the options, along with the text's content about finding commonality, the correct option for the first dropdown (if we assume the first part) and the second - the action after finding common ground. Looking at the text, after realizing they have something in common (music - related), their interaction deepens. The option "have a connection" fits as they find common ground (the music talk) and then have a connection (the guy says she's his Story List, and she relates to it, showing a connection forming).

Answer:

For the first (the "They learn from the..." part, assuming the dropdown was about what they find) - "have some common" (if that was the option, but more accurately, from the text, they find they have something in common (music - related), and then "have a connection" as the next action. So the answers (matching the blanks, assuming the first blank was about what they find and the second about the result) would be:
First blank (what they learn from the talk about music): have some common (or the option that means they find common ground)
Second blank (what happens then): have a connection
