Final answer:

In 'The Giver', Gabe is not at the ceremony because he is a baby and has not reached the age to participate. Gabe is labeled as a 'newchild'.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the book 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry, Gabe is not at the ceremony because he is a baby and has not yet reached the age to participate. In the community, infants are labeled as 'Newchildren' until they turn one and are given a name. Gabe is referred to as 'newchild' throughout the story.
