2 Read the text. Which of these sentences is true about schools in the UK?

Analysis of sentences:

Based on the text:

• a All 'public schools' are private schools. The text states, 'A small group of very old private schools are, confusingly, known as 'public schools'. These include Eton College...' This implies that 'public schools' are a specific type of private school.
• b All private schools are 'public schools'. The text says '93% of children go to state schools, which are funded by the government. The remaining 7% go to private schools...'. It then specifies that *a small group* of these private schools are known as 'public schools'. Therefore, not all private schools are 'public schools'.
• c All state schools are 'public schools'. The text clearly distinguishes between state schools (93% of children) and private schools (7%), where 'public schools' are a subset of private schools. Thus, state schools are not 'public schools'.

Therefore, the sentence that is true about schools in the UK is that 'public schools' are a type of private school.

Answer: a All 'public schools' are private schools.
