Pay and income
Hello guys, I have a question. I had to choose between pay or income on my English test today. It was about people who work night shifts and so following sentence was:they get good (income or pay). I chose pay but my teacher said it should be the other one. Isn't 'pay' a better option? I would rather say 'they have a good income' 
( can someone explain this to me
The other problem is the sentence where I had to choose between absent and skipping. I don't remember this sentence but after a blank there was 'from classes' so I automatically chose absent. Isn't it right?
