For blank 1, the correct answer is **respire**. The sentence would read: "One by one, the students in the classroom next to the science lab began looking up and **respiring** deeply and quickly covering their noses." This fits the context of students reacting to a bad smell.
For blank 2, the correct answer is **permeate**. The sentence would read: "Something was going wrong in the science lab, and the smell was beginning to **permeate** the other classrooms in the hall." This also fits well since "permeate" indicates that the smell is spreading through the air.
So the complete sentences would be:
"One by one, the students in the classroom next to the science lab began looking up and **respiring** deeply and quickly covering their noses. Something was going wrong in the science lab, and the smell was beginning to **permeate** the other classrooms in the hall."
