To solve the problem, we need to fill in the blanks with the appropriate coordinating conjunctions:
if or
unless. Let's analyze each sentence and determine which conjunction fits best.

-
If: Used to express a condition where something will happen based on another event occurring.

Unless: Used to express a condition where something will not happen unless another event occurs.
