Question

fill in the blanks to explain what the girls see when they look up into the night sky. when the sun goes down, the sky becomes dark. thats because there is no electricity in the city. as a result, the stars shine as brilliantly as diamonds. that means they sparkle. because of the heat, neighborhood, blackout, the girls can see what they usually see? (text cut off)

Explanation:

We need to choose the correct word to fill in the blank. The context is about the sky becoming dark when the sun goes down and stars shining brightly. A "blackout" means a loss of electricity, which fits with the earlier mention of no electricity in the city. "Heat" is not related to the sky darkening and star visibility, and "neighborhood" doesn't make sense in this context. So the correct word is "blackout".

Answer:

blackout
