The task presents a short Japanese passage with two blanks and provides the intended fills: あんな and らしくない. Here is how to reason through them and why they fit.

- Blank 1: あんな
  This expression means “that kind of” or “such” and is used to refer to something that has been mentioned or is visible in the context. In the sentence, the speaker says they would like to wear a shirt in that color, similar to the bright pink shirt Jane wore yesterday. Saying 私もあんな色のシャツを着てみたい makes natural sense: it conveys a desire to wear a shirt of that same color. Using alternatives like こんな (this kind) would imply something closer to the speaker’s own current surroundings or something near at hand, which doesn’t fit the intended distant reference to Jane’s shirt.

- Blank 2: らしくない
  The phrase らしくない means “not like (someone)” or “unlike (someone)” and is used to express that something does not suit the speaker or does not reflect their character. In this sentence, 自分らしくないから, the speaker is saying that wearing such a bright color would not be like themselves, i.e., it would feel uncharacteristic or not true to their style. This matches the nuance of feeling hesitant to wear something that doesn’t fit their own self-image.

- Why there aren’t alternative fillings in this case
  The provided answer options are just the two chosen words, and they form a coherent, natural sentence with clear meaning: 私もあんな色のシャツを着てみたいけど、自分らしくないから、やっぱり着られない。 This combination preserves natural Japanese grammar and the intended contrast between desire and personal style. If one were to substitute with different expressions, the nuance could shift (for example, using こんな instead of あんな would imply a closer, less distant reference, which would alter meaning; using 自分のスタイルに合わない instead of らしくない would change the expression slightly but still convey a similar idea).

In summary:
- Blank 1 selects あんな to mean “that kind of (color)” referring to Jane’s bright pink shirt.
- Blank 2 selects らしくない to express that wearing such a color would not be like the speaker, hence they refrain from wearing it.

The combined sentence reads smoothly and conveys the intended message: I would like to wear that color, but it wouldn’t suit me, so I won’t.
