Break

Explanation:

In this sentence the word "respite" means a short period of rest or relief from a difficult or not pleasing activity. Here, teaching the canines was a difficult job, the text describes them as "rambunctious" which means they had a lot of energy and were hard to control. So when they were put in individual kennels the instructors were able to rest.

The word "break" is also used to describe a short period of time when someone rests, or change things done by some more pleasant ones. So the instructos had a break from training the dogs.  

either online or traditional classroom can work for students. which is better will depend on students and teacher. students may have trouble following a lesson in classroom while they can study at their own pace online. other students may have trouble staying focus on their own in online classes. teachers are more used to classroom teaching but they may also be more worry about their jobs teaching online classes and work harder.

because he is using a description to provide evidence to support his argument.
