Question

complete the sentences with the correct words.
a popular program in new york that sports and education has been successful in helping students learn. this program uses sports to support classroom subjects such as history and math. for example, a game of kickball might begin by naming teams after historical figures.

Explanation:

1. The first blank needs a verb that links the program to "sports and education"; "combines" fits as it means to merge two elements, which matches the program's focus on both areas.
2. The second blank requires an adjective to describe the program; "innovative" (or "unique") works because using sports to support classroom learning is a creative, new approach, as shown by the kickball example with historical figures. Alternatively, "integrated" is also appropriate, but "innovative" aligns with the program's successful, creative design.

Answer:

1. First blank: combines
2. Second blank: innovative
