Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the sentence structure and the answer bank options:

1. The first blank after "Scout always" should be the action Scout takes. From the answer bank, "responded eagerly" fits as the main verb phrase here.
2. The second blank after "when she" needs a phrase that completes the action's trigger. "saw a friendly face" logically follows "when she" to describe the situation of Scout's response.
3. The third blank after "even if Amal" should describe Amal’s role. "was merely her dog - sitter" correctly provides this context.

Answer:

First dropdown: responded eagerly
Second dropdown: saw a friendly face
Third dropdown: was merely her dog - sitter
