B Correct answer
Explanation

Detract means decrease. So, wearing make up decreases her prettiness. Distract means to divert, which is out of context. Here means at the place. The students are at the place where the lines are being said. Hear means to listen to and is out of context. Herd means a group of animals and heard means to listen or be informed. You hear about the death of someone. So, heard is the correct option. Gait is a way in which one moves or walks and gate is a door. So, the correct option is gate.
