Explanation:

This problem is about Spanish language usage (specifically the pronouns "tú" and "usted"), which falls under the "Languages" subfield of Arts. To fill in the blanks:

1. The first blank: "tú" is used with friends, family (same age), children, pets (informal contexts).
2. Second blank: "tú" shows informality or familiarity.
3. Third blank: "usted" is more formal.
4. Fourth blank: "usted" is used with people in positions of authority (like bosses, teachers, etc.).
5. Fifth blank: "usted" (or sometimes "tú" can be used but "usted" is formal for family adults too, but based on context, for family adults, "usted" can be used to show respect, or sometimes "tú" is common, but in formal respect for elders, "usted" is used. Wait, the last blank: when talking to family adults (mom, dad, grandparents), you can use "usted" (to show respect) or "tú" (more familiar). But based on the context of the lesson (teaching formality), likely "usted" for respect, or "tú" if familiar. But let's follow the typical lesson:

So filling:

1. "tú" (for friends, family same age, kids, pets)
2. "familiarity" (or "informality")
3. "formal"
4. "respect" (the purpose of using "usted" is respect)
5. "authority" (positions like boss, teacher, etc.)
6. "usted" (for family adults to show respect, or "tú" if familiar, but the lesson is about formal vs informal, so "usted" here as an option for respect to elders in family)

Wait, let's recheck:

• First blank: "tú" (informal, used with friends, family same age, children, pets)
• Second blank: "familiarity" (using "tú" shows familiarity)
• Third blank: "formal" (usted is formal)
• Fourth blank: "respect" (using usted to show respect)
• Fifth blank: "authority" (positions of authority like boss, mayor, etc.)
• Sixth blank: "usted" (when talking to family adults, you can use usted to show respect, though in some families "tú" is used, but the lesson is teaching the formal usage, so "usted" here)

So the blanks:

1. tú
2. familiarity (or informality)
3. formal
4. respect
5. authority
6. usted

Answer:

1. tú
2. familiarity (or informality)
3. formal
4. respect
5. authority
6. usted
