Explanation:

First Part (Filling the Blanks)

For Choice 1: The cartoon and the text describe Teddy Roosevelt as standing firm (refusing to shoot the bear), so "uncompromising" fits. "Embarrassed" and "vicious" don't match his depicted character. For Choice 2: The bear is shown as small, wounded, or tied up in stories, so "helpless" is appropriate. "Intimidating" and "violent" contradict the sympathetic, powerless portrayal of the bear.

• Option A: The newspaper articles depicted the bear as small, wounded, etc. (powerless), and the cartoon likely shows a similar powerless bear. The President is shown as having a conscience (uncompromising), but the key is the bear's portrayal. This option matches as both show the bear as powerless.
• Option B: The articles paint Roosevelt as a sympathetic hunter, not controlling. Eliminate.
• Option C: The articles are about his refusal to shoot, not a hunting victory. Eliminate.
• Option D: The articles are about his refusal, not a hunting failure. Eliminate.

Answer:

Choice 1: uncompromising; Choice 2: helpless
