I was thinking cigarette, but I'm not sure how the purple fits in.

Perhaps a purple pen? Do you have any more info about the object? Household item?

But for the purple, I was going for a drill bit.

Sounds like a some kind of object like a pencil case or chalk case (wooden, hollow) that is unique to the particular classroom where the question was asked. Making the whole thing rather silly. ;)

I have children in government schools and homeschool. The governmewnt schools send children home with busy work that they have to do with their parents in a bid for social engineering

...we want children to spend time with mom and dad. So they have inane questions and projects.

What grade and what class? And in what context? (What is the child currently studying?)

Not enough information given to accurately answer the questions. :)

It has the right dimensions to be one of those old-fashioned candy swizzle sticks that you can still get at country stores and such. And the purple swirls would make sense. The part about it smelling like wood and sweaty hands has me a bit stumped, though, unless that's just how some weird flavor of candy smells. What does licorice smell like?

This is in a science workbook? This must be some of that new social-justice science, like that social-justice math. All you have to do is feel good about yourself, and it doesn't matter what your answer is.

A kindergartener's pencil. Seems kind of wide but it would be sweaty and smell like wood!
