Answer

$B_1$ is into the page. $B_2$ is out of the page.

Work Step by Step

When the electron first enters the region of $B_1$, the force on the electron is downward. By the right hand rule, the direction of the magnetic field $B_1$ is into the page. When the electron first enters the region of $B_2$, the force on the electron is downward. By the right hand rule, the direction of the magnetic field $B_2$ is out of the page.
