As sixth graders, kids were separating into groups, but I wasn't sure where I belonged．
Our teacher gave us a task called "secret friends" for the coming week．We were supposed to do nice things for our friends without letting them know who was doing it．We could leave encouraging notes or cards either on their desks or in their backpacks．Before doing the task, with our eyes closed, from a basket, we 1 a name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend over the next five days．
Soon, the task was turned into a competition of giving presents instead of notes．Everyone was getting cool presents except me．My friend followed the teacher's 2 without a fault．
Could I use "picked" to fill in the first blank?

Could I use " guidance" to fill in the second blank?

Is there any difference between "guidance" and "directions" in this case?

Thanks
