Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: principal
Explanation:
principal — the head of a school, college, or other institution.
principle — a fundamental truth, law, or belief; not a person or a job title.
Why "principal" fits: The sentence needs the noun for the head of the college. "Principal" is the correct word for that meaning.
Why the other choices are wrong: "principle" has a different meaning; "principalee" and "prencipal" are not standard spellings.
Example: The principal of this college is very strict.
Tip: Remember that "principal" (with an "a") often names a person or main thing, while "principle" (with an "e") names a rule or belief.
