Welcome to the forum, blackdragon. :hi:

The two I have coloured red are fine. The other two are not.
You need a single word in each gap. In both the first and the the fourth gap, you need an adjective with a prefix showing negation (such as un/im/in/ir/etc).
ps. I see that emsr2d2 beat me to it.

I'm afraid not. Clues to the right answers:
I find much modern poetry unreadable - too dull or too pretentious for me to enjoy reading.
My handwriting is illegible - it's so messy that you can't read it.
Words with the suffix -able (-ible) usually mean that what precedes the suffix cannot be done. Sometimes, as in unreadable, we use the English word; sometimes, as in illegible, we use the Latin word.
