to be absent is the correct answer

Answer 2

The blank can be filled with the word "for being"

There is no reason for being absent.

Here, for will be used followed by being.

There are other prepositions also but they can not be used here because it will not give the correct sense of the sentence.

We can define proposition as:

Prepositions are those words which are used before a noun or pronoun and denote the relation between the noun/pronoun and other parts of sentences.
