I'm sorry nobody has told you about it yet. They should. You're scared of something just because you don't know what's in there or what it looks like. Summer school is a chance to improve your grades, because it's a class where they teach the same subjects again, so you can review it and learn it a little better than you did the first time. The only difference is that they go a little faster, because the summer is shorter than the regular school year. And that's the whole story. There's nothing to be afraid of. When I went to Summer school a few years ago, I loved it. I started to understand stuff that I didn't understand very well the first time, and I really improved my grade. Good luck.
The correct answer is - A. widening.
Both of the countries suffer from low fertility rate, Japan little more than the USA. The gap is widening because of the migrations.
- USA is country that is on the top of the list as a destination for migration, and also it is a country that allows big number of migrants in it every year, that contributes to the country's population to become bigger and bigger even though the fertility rate is low.
-Japan the other hand is a country that has both very low fertility rate, and very small amount of migrants coming to live in it, so the number of the population is stagnant for some time now, and is expected to start decreasing quickly in the coming years once the older population is not among the living anymore.
