VII. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.<br />
The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary<br />
education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or governmentoperated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be<br />
completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the<br />
American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive<br />
facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced<br />
the American education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and<br />
industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's<br />

thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp<br />
