Question

why are debates such as one about the color of a dress so popular? complete the sentences. some experts think posts go viral because people are naturally competitive. although debates like the one about the color of a dress might not be, they have wide appeal because many people enjoy arguing about a. (options: safe, important, attractive)

Explanation:

For the first blank (after "might not be"), we analyze the context. Debates about a dress's color are not typically "important" in a serious, impactful sense, but they go viral. The word "important" fits here as these debates lack major significance. For the second blank (after "arguing about a"), we consider what people argue about. A "safe" topic? No, "attractive" doesn't fit. Wait, re - evaluating: The first blank: Debates like dress color aren't "important" (in a weighty, consequential way) but are popular. The second blank: People enjoy arguing about a "safe" topic? No, maybe "topic" but the options are safe, important, attractive. Wait, the first blank: "important" (since dress color debates are trivial, not important in a serious sense). The second blank: "safe" (arguing about a safe topic, as it's not controversial in a harmful way, just a fun debate). Wait, no, let's re - check. The first blank: The sentence is "Although debates like the one about the color of a dress might not be __". The options are safe, important, attractive. Debates about dress color are not "important" (in terms of major impact or significance), so "important" for the first blank. The second blank: "many people enjoy arguing about a ". The remaining option is "safe" (arguing about a safe topic, as it's a light - hearted debate, not risky or controversial in a bad way). Wait, but the options for the first blank: let's see the structure. The first dropdown (after "might not be") has options (from the right - side box) safe, important, attractive. The second dropdown (after "arguing about a") would take the remaining. Wait, the first blank: "important" (because dress color debates are not important in a serious, impactful way). The second blank: "safe" (people enjoy arguing about a safe topic, as it's a harmless debate). But let's confirm. The first part: "posts go viral because people are naturally competitive". Then, "Although debates like the one about the color of a dress might not be , they have wide appeal because many people enjoy arguing about a __". So, the first blank: "important" (since they are trivial, not important). The second blank: "safe" (arguing about a safe topic, no serious consequences).

Answer:

First blank: important; Second blank: safe
