Answer:

B. Administration

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions:

satellite:

- A satellite is a moon, planet or machine that orbits a planet or star. Usually, the word "satellite" refers to a machine that is launched into space and moves around Earth or another body in space. Earth and the moon are examples of natural satellites. Thousands of artificial, or man-made, satellites orbit Earth

administration:

-the process or activity of running a business, organization, etc.

-the management of public affairs; government.

orbit:

-the curved path of a celestial object or spacecraft around a star, planet, or moon, especially a periodic elliptical revolution.

-a sphere of activity, interest, or application.

privilege:

-prerogative refer to a special advantage or right possessed by an individual or group. A privilege is a right or advantage gained by birth, social position, effort, or concession.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case you can immediately cross out Orbit and Satellite as you aren't really talking about space (although there are other definitions than the space ones, but either way it doesn't make sense). When looking at the two remaining answer, Administration and Privilege, you can cross off privilege as it wouldn't make sense in the context of the question. Leaving administration as the only possible answer. Since the question talks about the "director of education" you can tell that the job is one of a management position.

Or:

You could also add in a word that would make sense in the context of the question and see which word is closest. So in this case:

At the beginning of her (job), everyone had high expectations of the new director of education.

Thus replacing job with administration makes the most sense.
