Explanation:

- In the first blank, the verb "learn" or "acclimate" would likely fit as it aligns with adjusting to a new school environment. This sets the context for the need to absorb the traditions of a school.

- Blank No. 2 requires a pronoun that appropriately connects to the phrase "absorb a distinct tradition like". A plural possessive pronoun is expected since the tradition belongs to a group.

- Options for blank No. 2:

- ourselves: A pronoun, implying something relating to the people within the school, but not a possessive.

- himself: Singular and reflexive, not suitable for referring to a tradition.

- mine: Singular possessive, does not fit with "a tradition like".

- ours: Correct choice as it is plural and possessive, fitting with the idea of school tradition.

- For the passage:

- The mention of "Most of the new appointees" suggests a group context.

- The focus is on learning a new school’s culture which is a shared concept, making "ours" appropriate.
