What means "a college-bound student"

Beitrag von dougless »

Hello,

I am from Germany and wrote an English Test last week.
There was a question I can not find the right answer.
Maybe anyone of you can help me.

The question was:

A college-bound student is...

a. a student not allowed to leave the campus
b. a student planning to take up studies
c. a student at a privat high school

Do you know the correct answer?
Perhaps you can explain me your answer. It needn't be long.

Many thanks for helping.

This is actually wrong. It might seem like the most obvious answer, however b.) is correct.

b.) a student planning to take up studies.

A 'college-bound' student is not using the past tense of the verb 'bind' but rather this definition:

bound: a leap onward or upward; jump.

Someone who is 'leaping onward' to college.

I hope that my explanation was clear enough. Mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut! :(

Thank you for taking the time to correct my mistake.
And don't worry, an English explanation is fine too!

Well, German is my mother tongue.
So you can ask me via PM when you got any questions regarding German.
