Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank problem, we analyze the context of each sentence and match it with the given vocabulary words:

1. First blank: “____ at Clown College”

The vocabulary word “graduation” makes sense here. The sentence is talking about the time that has passed since finishing at Clown College, so the phrase “graduation at Clown College” is appropriate.

2. Second blank: “apply her ____”

Among the vocabulary words, “makeup” is the right choice. In the context of a clown getting ready for a performance, applying makeup is a common action.

3. Third blank (the one after “She had time to ____”):

“boast” fits here. The sentence implies that she had time to brag (boast) about doing well, which is in line with the context of wanting to do well in the performance.

4. Fourth blank: “Many of her friends ____ this show”

“attend” is the correct word. It means that many of her friends were going to be present at the show.

5. Fifth blank: “She could ____ without fear”

“tumble” is suitable. For a clown, tumbling (performing acrobatic falls) is a part of their routine, and the sentence says she could do it without fear.

6. Sixth blank: “enjoy her new ____”

“lifestyle” is the appropriate word. After graduating and starting her performance career, she would have a new way of life (lifestyle).

• “Years had passed since graduation at Clown College.”
• “She arrived early to apply her makeup.”
• “She had time to boast.”
• “Many of her friends attend this show.”
• “She could tumble without fear.”
