Answer:

more; less; irrelevant

Step-by-step explanation:

A reinforcer may be defined as something which increases the chance of a response or a specific behavior to occur. It can be either negative or positive.

In the context, for Ginny who is 5 year old, there is a high chance to choose a more desirable and delayed reinforcer but a less desirable reinforcer if some irrelevant behavior is performed in the delay period.
