options for blanks: problem, rule, surprise

Explanation:

For the first blank, the context is about off - leash dogs being a negative thing for park users. "Problem" fits as it implies that off - leash dogs cause an issue. "Rule" and "surprise" don't make sense here as "rule" refers to a regulation and "surprise" is an unexpected event, neither of which fit the description of off - leash dogs' impact on park users.

Answer:

problem
