question:Is it possible to skip a grade in Italian high schools? Can you skip grades in college? Do those questions have the same meaning? pick from the following. A). no. B). yes.
answer:B). Yes. It is possible to skip a grade in Italian high schools, although it might not be very common. In Italy, high school comprises of five years of education, typically between the ages of 14 to 19. Italian high schools, also known as "Scuole Superiori," are divided into two main types: "Liceo" (preparing students for university) and "Istituto Tecnico e Professionale" (focusing on vocational and technical education). The possibility of skipping a grade largely depends on each individual school's guidelines and policies, as well as the student's performance, academic ability, and maturity level. A student must demonstrate mastery of the material for the grade they wish to skip, usually by passing an examination or through evaluation by the school's teaching staff. It is important to note that skipping a grade may carry certain challenges, such as adjusting to new social groups or missing important topics, which can be critical when transitioning to the next educational level. As for skipping grades in college, it is generally not referred to as "skipping a grade" but rather "advanced standing" or earning credits through various avenues such as Advanced Placement (AP) exams, International Baccalaureate (IB) exams, or taking higher-level courses in certain subjects during college enrollment. Advanced standing options vary from institution to institution and are usually tailored to individual student needs. In summary, although the terms "skipping a grade" in high schools and "advanced standing" or earning credits in college are not exactly the same, they both signify the possibility of accelerating one's educational progress by demonstrating mastery at a higher level of achievement. In both cases, individual policies and guidelines for schools or universities must be examined to determine if and how this can be pursued.

Sabrina Fairchild is the young daughter of the Larrabee family's chauffeur, Thomas, and has been in love with David Larrabee all her life. David is a playboy, constantly falling in love, yet he has never noticed Sabrina, much to her dismay. Sabrina travels to Paris for a fashion internship at Vogue and returns as an attractive, sophisticated woman. David, after initially not recognizing her, is quickly drawn to her despite being newly engaged to Elizabeth Tyson, a doctor. David's workaholic older brother Linus fears that David's imminent wedding to the very suitable Elizabeth might be endangered. If the wedding were to be canceled, so would a lucrative merger with the bride's family business, Tyson Electronics, run by her father Patrick. This could cost the Larrabee Corporation, run by Linus and his mother Maude, in the neighborhood of a billion dollars. Linus tries to redirect Sabrina's affections to himself and it works. Sabrina falls in love with him, even though she quotes others as calling Linus "the world's only living heart donor" and someone who "thinks that morals are paintings on walls and scruples are money in Russia." In the process, Linus also falls in love with her. Unwilling to admit his feelings, Linus confesses his scheme to Sabrina at the last minute and sends her back to Paris. Before she gets on the plane to Paris, her father informs her that over the years of chauffeuring the father of David and Linus, he listened. When Mr. Larrabee sold, he sold and when Mr. Larrabee bought, he bought. Sabrina jokingly says "So you are telling me that you have a million dollars?"

As a result, Thomas was able to accumulate a fortune of a little over two million dollars. This wealth was later revealed to Sabrina by her father before she boarded a plane to Paris, as he shared that her mother would want her to have it.
