Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (B) board / bored
Explanation
Read the sentence for what each blank must hold.
- **First blank:** something a teacher writes on while teaching, so the noun is **board**.
- **Second blank:** the feeling students get when too much is written on it, so the adjective is **bored**.
Option A puts the adjective in the noun's place and the noun in the adjective's place, and options C and D repeat one word in both blanks. Only **board / bored** (B) makes sense.
