Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Analyze the blank (I) in the passage: The sentence talks about students saving on course fees and also on other ____________.

2. Check the example sentences:
   - (A) "The dark sky stretched far ______________, no sign of morning yet visible."
   - (B) "The system was powered by ______________ transmission of 3500 volts dc..."

3. Consider each option:
   - **overhaul**: means to repair or improve something completely; does not fit either sentence.
   - **overhead**: fits sentence (A) as "The dark sky stretched far overhead" is correct. Also fits (B) as "overhead transmission" is a common term in electricity.
   - **impediment**: means obstacle; does not fit the example sentences.
   - **accede**: means to agree; does not fit the sentences.
   - **undercut**: means to cut beneath; does not fit the sentences.

4. Therefore, the word "overhead" correctly fits the blank (I) in the passage and both example sentences.
