Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze the text "from Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad" (a biography) and the question about Tubman's personality from author's comments and her own thoughts/actions. The subfield in Social Science (specifically History, as it's about a historical figure) or Arts (Literature, as it's a written biography) applies. For the first blank, from the author's comments (biographical analysis), Tubman was brave (as she led slaves to freedom). For the second, from her thoughts, speech, actions (like helping others escape), she was selfless.

Answer:

I learned from the author's comments that Tubman was \(\boldsymbol{\text{brave}}\). I learned from Tubman's thoughts, speech, and actions that she was \(\boldsymbol{\text{selfless}}\). (Answers can vary based on analysis, e.g., "determined", "compassionate" are also valid for respective blanks.)
