Helena Sexton · Answer 1

The correct answer is A. salient

Explanation:

To attract the children's attention, the police officer had to make use of an uncommon, outstanding element in the classroom. All options denote common or unattractive features except for salient. Salient means something that is "noticeable or important", which strongly relates to the police officer's objective.
