Just took the test. The answer is D.
a. In U.S. high schools there is more emphasis on sports than in Chile, while schools in Chile place more emphasis on academics and teams represent leagues rather than schools.
And let's not forget that in Chile, they take academics so seriously that they might even invent a sport called "speed-reading relay" just to combine the two!
The statement that best summarizes the differences in the role of sports in high schools in Chile compared to high schools in the U.S. is option a. In U.S. high schools there is more emphasis on sports than in Chile, while schools in Chile place more emphasis on academics and teams represent leagues rather than schools.
The correct answer is a. In U.S. high schools there is more emphasis on sports than in Chile, while schools in Chile place more emphasis on academics and teams represent leagues rather than schools.
To arrive at this answer, we need to compare the role of sports in high schools in Chile and the U.S. In Chile, schools tend to place more emphasis on academics, and sports are generally not as prominent as in the U.S. In Chile, teams generally represent leagues instead of their schools.
On the other hand, in the U.S., high schools tend to prioritize sports, and there is a greater emphasis on athletic programs. Schools typically have their own sports teams that compete against other schools.
By comparing these differences, we can conclude that there is more emphasis on sports in U.S. high schools compared to high schools in Chile, where academics take precedence.
