1. For part (a):  
   We have  
   $$
   -3 - (-5) = -3 + \square.
   $$  
   Since subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding the positive,  
   $$
   -3 - (-5) = -3 + 5.
   $$  
   Thus, the blank should be filled with $$5$$.

2. For part (b):  
   We have  
   $$
   -4 - 1 = -4 + \square.
   $$  
   Calculating the left side gives  
   $$
   -4 - 1 = -5.
   $$  
   So, we need  
   $$
   -4 + \square = -5.
   $$  
   To find the blank, add $$4$$ to both sides:  
   $$
   \square = -5 + 4 = -1.
   $$

The answers are:  
- (a) $$5$$  
- (b) $$-1$$
- (a) 5 - (b) -1
