Explanation:

To complete the cell theory sentences:

1. "All [living] things are made up of one or more [cells]": Cell theory states living organisms are composed of cells.
2. "The cell is the basic unit of [life]": Cells are the fundamental unit of life's structure and function.
3. "All cells come from [pre - existing] cells": The third tenet of cell theory is that cells arise from pre - existing cells (biogenesis).

The incorrect options: "boxes" (not related to cell theory), "cork" (was used in early cell observation but not part of the theory), "nonliving" (cell theory is about living things), are eliminated.

Answer:

First blank: living
Second blank: cells
Third blank: life
Fourth blank: pre - existing
