Welcome to SpanishDict. Adjectives have to agree in number and gender with the nouns that they modify. So look at the noun that is being modified, and then see if it is masculine or feminine.
This is a Spanish learning site. While we won't do your homework for you, we will check it for you if you give it your best shot and post it.
There are a number of great reference articles under the More tab. You can use the dictionary to look up words (and their genders) that you don't know. You can also look under the Learn Spanish tab where there is an early lesson about noun/adjective agreement.
Good luck!
La coordinación de dos o más sustantivos o pronombres en singular, siempre que cada uno de ellos se refiera a un ente distinto, forma un grupo que concuerda en plural con el adjetivo o el pronombre, o con el verbo del que son sujeto:
«Rehogar la cebolla y la zanahoria picadas durante quince minutos»;
«El oxígeno, el hidrógeno y el carbono los proporciona el medio»;
«La sal y el agua son gratis».
La coordinación de dos o más sustantivos o pronombres de diferente género gramatical forma un grupo que concuerda en masculino con el adjetivo o con el pronombre:
«Se fríen las rajitas junto con la cebolla y el ajo picados»;
«Ahora la casa y el jardín eran otros».
feminine noun Y masculine noun = masculine noun
el profesora habló sobre la actitud y el carácter...(blank). (modernas/moderno)
Since madernos is not among the choices, moderno must only be modifying el caracter, in case that is what was puzzling you.
Oh my goodness, another Canadian. This is exciting! Now I know there are at least 3 of us here.

Hope to see you around the site.
