Select the most appropriate option to fill in blank no. 5.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. level.

Context: The sentence is describing how the principal's concerns included things like window shades being at the same position. So, we need a word that fits with physical height or alignment.

Meaning of the words:

Grade: Can refer to school classes or a rank
Level: A specific height or position
Layer: One thickness on top of another
Stage: A step in a process or performance

Correct word: Level

Reason: "Window shades be at the same level" clearly refers to all shades being aligned at the same height. That makes it the best choice based on the context.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
