Explanation:

Translate the sentence

The sentence is: "Cuando tienen ________, los estudiantes chilenos terminan el nivel básico y escogen (choose) qué tipo de liceo quieren asistir."
Translation: "When they are ________, Chilean students finish the basic level and choose what type of high school (liceo) they want to attend."

Analyze the cultural context

In Chile, "Educación Básica" (primary/basic education) lasts for 8 years, typically completed by students when they are 13 or 14 years old. After completing this level, they transition to "Educación Media" (liceo) at age 14.

Evaluate the options

• Option A: "14 años" (14 years old) fits the age at which students finish basic education and choose their high school track.
• Option B: "que estudiar" (what to study) does not grammatically fit after "Cuando tienen" (When they have/are [age]).
• Option C: "éxito" (success) does not fit the context of finishing basic school and choosing a high school.
• Option D: "18 años" (18 years old) is the age they typically finish high school, not basic education.

Answer:

• (A) a. 14 años (Correct answer)
• (B) b. que estudiar
• (C) c. éxito
• (D) d. 18 años
