In the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, the characteristics of the stars in different areas can be labeled as follows:

  1. Supergiants. - cool, bright (located at the top right of the diagram)
  2. Giants - hot, bright (located somewhat below the supergiants but still towards the left side of the diagram)
  3. Main-sequence stars. - hot, dim (middle diagonal line, with hotter stars on the left and cooler stars on the right)
  4. White dwarfs - cool, dim (located at the bottom left of the diagram)

So, to fill in the boxes with the correct characteristics:

  • Item 7 (Supergiants) → cool, bright
  • Item 8 (Giants) → hot, bright
  • Item 9 (Main-sequence stars) → hot, dim
  • Item 10 (White dwarfs) → cool, dim
