1. Read the text below. For questions (1—5) choose the correct answer (A, B or C). 

SCHOOLS IN THE USA

School usually means the same in American Eng lish as in British English, but sometimes it can also mean ‘university’. If a parent says ‘I work during the mornings when the children are at school’, it means that the children are young and are probably at elementary school. But ‘My youngest son is always at school now’ almost certainly means that he has started university in another city.

Many Americans send their children to a nursery school, or to day care or pre-school at an early age. At 5 children go to kindergarten. As in Britain US schools are divided into primary and secondary, but these words are rarely used. It is more common to talk about elementary school, junior high school and high school and the grade, or year group, students are in. Elementary schools teach children from kindergarten till the end of sixth grade. Grades seven and eight are taken at junior high school, and the ninth to the twelfth grades at high school.

1. In American English “school” is a ______________.
