<em>I believe you are only asking for the answer on the</em><u><em> first black</em></u><em> since there are no choices for the second blank.</em>
In order to know the answer, you have to check for<em> "context clues."</em> The <u>second clause</u> on the<u> second sentence</u> gives you an idea what the answer is on the first blank. It talks about students'<u><em> not missing school.</em></u> Missing school refers to<u> being absent in class</u> and this is connected to the word<em> "absenteeism." </em>The sentence means that a four-day week<u><em> will allow students to move their schedule on Friday, </em></u>in case they have special appointments that need to be done on a weekday. This will <u>prevent them from being absent in class.</u>
