Answer
To complete Figure 1, first, a logic OR gate should be connected to the master reset (MR) pin.
The outputs from the switch P (for manual reset) and a decoder that checks for the binary outputs corresponding to decimal numbers will be the two inputs of the OR gate.
This configuration ensures that either the manual reset or the automatic reset will activate the counter reset functionality.
