what are some of the effects of volunteering for kids helping kids? complete the sentences.
volunteers give their time and energy to causes that are important to them,
the lives of other young people. but many volunteers gain
skills of their own, too. they also report feeling
about their ability to help others.
(options: nervous, positive, shy)

Explanation:

1. For the first blank (affecting the lives of other young people), the context is about positive impacts of volunteering, so we need a word that shows a good influence. "positive" is suitable as it describes the effect on others' lives.
2. For the second blank (gaining skills), "positive" also fits as gaining skills is a positive outcome for volunteers.
3. For the third blank (feeling about ability to help others), "positive" makes sense as helping others and gaining skills would lead to a positive feeling about one's ability. Wait, but looking at the options, the first blank (before "the lives of other young people") - the correct word to fill (from the options: nervous, positive, shy) - the first sentence about volunteers affecting others' lives should be "positive" (as volunteering has a good effect). Then "gain positive skills" (though maybe "develop positive skills" but from options, positive is the right choice for the second blank too). And "feeling positive about their ability" as positive feelings come from helping others. Wait, maybe the first blank is "positive" (affecting the lives of other young people in a positive way), second blank "positive" (gaining positive skills), third blank "positive" (feeling positive about ability). But let's check the options again. The options are nervous, positive, shy. So:

First blank (____ the lives of other young people): The correct word is "positive" because volunteering for Kids Helping Kids should have a positive effect on others' lives.

Second blank (gain ____ skills): "positive" skills, as volunteering helps gain good (positive) skills.

Third blank (feeling ____ about their ability): "positive" about their ability, as they feel good (positive) about being able to help others.

Wait, but maybe the first blank is a verb? Wait, no, the original text: "teers give their time and energy to causes that are important to them, ____ the lives of other young people." Wait, maybe a typo, but the options are adjectives? Wait, no, maybe the first blank is a verb, but the options are adjectives. Wait, maybe the first blank is "positive" (adjective) modifying "effect" on lives. So:

1. "____ the lives of other young people": positive (as in having a positive effect)
2. "gain ____ skills": positive (positive skills, i.e., good skills)
3. "feeling ____ about their ability": positive (feeling good/positive about their ability)

But let's confirm with the context. The passage says "Small acts... can have a big effect" and "win - win situation", so all blanks should be "positive" as it's about the positive effects of volunteering.

Answer:

First blank: positive
Second blank: positive
Third blank: positive

(Assuming the blanks are to be filled with the word "positive" from the options nervous, positive, shy, as the other options (nervous, shy) don't fit the context of positive impacts of volunteering.)
