The correct alternatives to fill in the blanks in the introduction to Mila's personal narrative, are, in order: "repeat" and "walked". So, the complete sentence would be "When my little sister was almost three years old, she would repeat this every day when I walked in the door from school".

In the first blank, the correct form of the verb "to repeat" is its Simple Present "repeat" because, although the sentence is in the past, telling the reader about past events, the presence of the conditional verb "would" demands that the following verb is put in its Present form. Therefore, the first blank would be correctly filled in with "repeat".

In the second blank, the correct form of the verb "to walk" is its Simple Past "walked", respecting its accordance to the rest of the excerpt, which is in the Simple Past. So, the second blank would be correctly filled in with "walked".

cornelia

explanation:

we don't know all that much about cornelia aside from what granny tells us about her, along with what we can gather from her few lines of dialogue. it's hard to picture her, too, since we're not given any details about her mannerisms or what she looks like. she could be dressed like a circus clown, for all we know.

even though we wouldn't recognize cornelia if we ran into her on the street, we can't but feel a lot of sympathy for this character. first of all, she's super nice and granny pretty much treats her like dirt. she's constantly asking granny if she needs anything and granny usually responds by snapping at her. here's a typical exchange:

"i thought you might want something."

"i do. i want a lot of things. first off, go away and don't whisper." (14-15)
