The task presents a fill-in-the-blank sentence in Chinese and, unfortunately, provides no answer options to analyze. I will first restate the question in English to set the context, then discuss what the two blanks are likely to be, and finally comment on the provided answer string.

Restated question: Completing the sentence: '_____ spending refers to funds used for a program, whose funding level is automatically set by the number of eligible beneficiaries; Congress, through the annual appropriations process, sets _____ spending.'

Option analysis (based on typical U.S. budget terminology, since no options were provided):
- The first blank should describe the type of spending whose funding level is automatically determined by eligibility. In U.S. budgeting terminology, that is generally 'mandatory spending' (also called 'mandatory expenditures' or 'entitlement spending'), because eligibility rules drive the required funding without yearly appropriations each year.
- The second blank should describe the type of spending that Congress sets through annual appropriations. That is 'discretionary spending' (also called 'discretionary expenditures'), which Congress decides each year via the appropriations process.

Why this interpretation makes sense: 
- 'Mandatory spending' is not determined by annual appropriations; it is determined by statute based on eligibility and benefit formulas (e.g., Social Security, Medicare, certain entitlement programs). The funding level is largely automatic and only adjusts with program rules or population changes. 
- 'Discretionary spending' is explicitly what Congress allocates each year through the appropriation bills, allowing Congress to set or adjust funding levels for a wide range of programs on a yearly basis.

Review of the provided answer string: '权利;酌情' appears to be an attempt to translate or map these terms, with '权利' meaning 'rights' and '酌情' meaning 'discretionary.' 
- The use of 'rights' for the first blank is a misleading translation of 'mandatory' in this context. In budgeting, 'mandatory spending' does not equate to 'rights' in the everyday sense; it is a technical term describing legally required spending levels based on eligibility rules.
- The second term 'discretionary' is translated as '酌情' or '裁量' in Chinese, which is appropriate. However, pairing a nonstandard or incorrect first term ('rights') with a correct second term creates a mismatched and inaccurate overall answer.

In summary, the most conceptually accurate completion is 'mandatory spending' for the first blank and 'discretionary spending' for the second blank. The provided pair '权利;酌情' is not accurate because '权利' does not correctly translate the financial concept of 'mandatory spending' in this budgeting context, even though '酌情' aligns with 'discretionary.'
