Correct Answer: Ascent


Solution : The third option is the correct answer since ''ascent'', which refers to the act of climbing or going upward on an upward slope, fits perfectly in the sentence describing the steep upward path leading to the school.

The options ''assent'' means 'to give approval', ''accent'' means "a distinctive way of pronouncing a word", and " ascend" is the verb form of ' 'ascent''. These options do not fit contextually in the sentence.

So, the complete sentence is "The ascent towards the school was very steep".
