Question
drag the missing word into place
like poles of a magnet each other; you can’t get them
to touch each other!
attract
repel
suspend
In the context of magnetism, a fundamental principle is that like poles (e.g., north - north or south - south) of a magnet repel each other, while opposite poles attract. The sentence also indicates that you can't get like poles to touch, which is consistent with the repelling behavior. "Attract" is for opposite poles, and "suspend" has no relation to the interaction of like poles of a magnet. So the correct word is "repel".
