in the poem, okita uses ▼characterization to show what the speaker’s friend thinks about her after the speaker has been given an order to relocate. denise’s ▼characterization hurts the speaker; she says, “you’re trying to start a war.”
the options for the dropdowns are: characterization, dialogue, conflict

Explanation:

First Dropdown:

To show what the friend thinks, dialogue (characters' spoken words) is used. Wait, no—wait, the first blank: to show the friend’s thoughts about the speaker, the technique here—wait, the options are characterization, dialogue, conflict. Wait, the first part: “to show what the speaker’s friend thinks about her” — dialogue is spoken words, but maybe characterization? No, wait, the second blank: Denise’s ____ hurts the speaker, and she says “You’re trying to start a war” — that’s dialogue (a spoken line). Wait, let's re-examine.

First blank: The first sentence: Okita uses [ ] to show what the friend thinks. The options: characterization (how a character is presented), dialogue (their speech), conflict (struggle). To reveal a character’s thoughts about another, dialogue (their spoken words) or characterization? Wait, the second blank: Denise’s [ ] hurts the speaker, and the quote is her dialogue. So the second blank is dialogue. Then the first blank: to show what the friend thinks, maybe dialogue? Wait, no—wait, the first dropdown: let's check the context. The poem is about a speaker being ordered to relocate (like Japanese internment). The friend’s thoughts—maybe through dialogue? Wait, no, the first blank: the first option. Wait, maybe the first is “dialogue” and the second is “dialogue”? No, the second blank has the quote, so that’s dialogue. Wait, the first blank: to show what the friend thinks, maybe dialogue (her words show her thoughts). Wait, let's correct:

First blank: The first sentence: Okita uses [ ] to show the friend’s thoughts. The options: dialogue (since thoughts are revealed through what the friend says). Wait, but the second blank: Denise’s [ ] (her dialogue) hurts the speaker, as she says the line. So:

First dropdown: dialogue (to show what the friend thinks, through her speech). Second dropdown: dialogue (her spoken words hurt the speaker). Wait, but let's confirm.

Wait, the first blank: “to show what the speaker’s friend thinks about her” — the friend’s thoughts are revealed through her dialogue (what she says). So first blank: dialogue. Second blank: Denise’s dialogue (her spoken words) hurts the speaker, as the quote is her dialogue.

Second Dropdown:

Denise says “You’re trying to start a war” — this is dialogue (a character’s spoken line), so her dialogue hurts the speaker.

Answer:

s:
First Dropdown: dialogue
Second Dropdown: dialogue

(Wait, but let's check again. Maybe first is characterization? No, characterization is about describing a character, not showing thoughts via speech. Dialogue is speech, so to show what the friend thinks, dialogue (her words) is used. Then Denise’s dialogue (her spoken words) hurts the speaker, as the quote is her dialogue. So both blanks should be “dialogue”?)
