Listen to the text and fill in the gaps with numbers 1 or 2 depending on what part of the compound adjective is more prominent than the other one. The first one is done for you.

Note, that in compound adjectives there's a tendency to pronounce  the second part as more prominent (with a nuclear stress) when the adjective is not followed by a noun, or the first part (with a full utterance stress) when it is followed by a noun. Yet, there may be exceptions under the influence of rhythm.
