Explanation:

To solve the fill - in - the - blanks, we analyze the context:

1. For the first blank (after "They"), the context is about dog owners' attitude towards off - leash hours. "Supported" means to be in favor of, which fits as dog owners would be in favor of off - leash hours. "Changed" doesn't make sense here as there's no indication of a change in off - leash hours at this point, and "obeyed" is about following rules, not about their stance on off - leash hours.
2. For the second blank (after "the"), from the left - hand text, we know that a New York City judge decided that the parks (or the relevant authority) could make off - leash rules. So the correct word here would be related to the authority that can make the rule. But focusing on the first blank in the dropdown with "changed", "obeyed", "supported", "supported" is the right choice for the first dropdown (the one with the upward arrow) as dog owners would support off - leash hours.

Answer:

For the first dropdown (the one with options "changed", "obeyed", "supported"): supported
(Note: Since the second dropdown's options are not fully visible, but based on the visible part and context, for the first blank in the dropdown with the upward arrow, the answer is "supported".)
