<span><span>Sight-
Her raven black hair, still dripping after the shower, left a cascade of water spots trickling down the back of her white t-shirt.</span><span>SoundWe woke up sluggish, tired from last night's ruckus. Our new puppy restlessly wandered around the house, his nails clicking over the wood floor like tap-dancing beetles, and his incessant, sharp-pitched whining filled all the corners of the house.
</span><span>Taste-
Ugh, I hate when the sour taste of sweat drips into my mouth during practice.
</span><span>Touch-
Her sweater was so soft, reminding me of a velvety smooth bunny or a wispy cotton ball. I was surprised it wasn't cashmere.
</span><span>Smell-
<span>I made sure to chew gum before my interview. I love the smell of minty breath; that sweet, icily refreshing scent is always sure to calm me down and help me focus.</span></span></span>

Answer:
c. absenteeism
Explanation:
<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>
