Welcome to the forum, blackdragon.

In this forum we ask people to try exercises themselves before we step in. We are happy to advise, correct and explain, but we don't do the work for you.

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.
