1. (B) Deviation from typically.

The student's behavior is abnormal because it deviates from the typical behavior of college students. Most college students do not go out once a week, and those who do usually make it to class the next day. The student's behavior is also causing him to fail all of his courses, which is further evidence that it is abnormal.
