No matter the circumstance, every child has the right to be protected from violence, exploitation and ____ . Child protection systems connect children to vital social services and ____ justice systems. They provide care to those who live with ____ or in alternative care. Above all, protecting children means protecting their physical and ____ needs to safeguard their futures.

## Answer

No matter the circumstance, every child has the right to be protected from violence, exploitation and **abuse** . Child protection systems connect children to vital social services and **fair** justice systems. They provide care to those who live with **disabilities** or in alternative care. Above all, protecting children means protecting their physical and **mental** needs to safeguard their futures.

## Explanation

Blank 3 follows "live with," and "live with disabilities" is the fixed phrase for people who need extra care. "Disadvantages" is tempting, but it does not match the care described here. Blank 4 pairs with "physical," so "physical and mental needs" fits. "Cognitive" is close, but it covers only thinking, and "physical and mental" is the standard pair.

## Hints

- Look for common collocations related to social services and legal protection.
- Check if the word fits the grammatical structure of the sentence, such as needing an adjective before a noun.
