--sentence--

For the initial phase, BLANK is to finalize the software requirements by next Friday.

--blanks--

the first task

--feedback--

These three words show that this is the number one thing to do.

--explanation--

Ordinal numbers tell the position of something in a sequence, such as steps, tasks, or stages. Examples include: first, second, third, fourth, and so on.

To form most ordinal numbers, you take the cardinal number (1, 2, 3, 4...) and add the correct ending. Most ordinal numbers follow the pattern of adding -th, like 4 becomes fourth, and 6 becomes sixth. But 1, 2, and 3 are irregular: 1 becomes first, 2 becomes second, and 3 becomes third.

In the dialogue, the first task means it is the first action that needs to be completed in the initial phase.
