what is one similarity between a trade school and college?

a. trade schools offer the same length programs as colleges.

b. trade schools share the same campuses as most colleges.

c. completing the fafsa is the first step to getting financial aid for both.

d. colleges and trade schools often teach the same subjects.

Explanation:

• Option A: Trade school programs are usually shorter (e.g., 1 - 2 years) than college degree programs (e.g., 2 - 4 years or more), so they don't have the same length. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Trade schools and colleges typically have separate campuses; they don't share the same campuses. Eliminate B.
• Option C: To get financial aid (like grants, loans) for both trade schools and colleges, completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the first step. This is a valid similarity.
• Option D: Trade schools focus on vocational/technical skills (e.g., welding, cosmetology), while colleges have a broader range of academic subjects. They don't often teach the same subjects. Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. Completing the FAFSA is the first step to getting financial aid for both.
