Question

read the sentence from the section \students see pros and cons.\ for students, the rules add new school-day rituals, like putting their phones in magnetic pouches or special lockers. what does the author use the word
ituals\ to mean? a ceremonies b friendships c problems d routines

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "rituals" here, analyze the context: the sentence describes new school - day actions (putting phones in pouches/lockers) that are repeated daily. "Routines" means regular, repeated actions, which matches. "Ceremonies" are more formal events, "friendships" are social bonds, and "problems" are issues—none fit as well as "routines".

Answer:

D. routines
