Hi sweetgRe,

You asked:

what is the difference between choose and option?


Choose is a verb and option is a noun. You would have to make a difference between choice and option. Choice is a more general word usually associated with a personal preference. You would have the choice of different types of food in a restaurant. Option is more an official word. You would have the option to pay for something in cash or over a period of time.

I have corrected your original sentence below:

please PLEASE help me AND TELL ME if my statement question below is correct?

*Sufficient and condensed/SUCCINCT information on THE school’s facilities, tuition fees and curriculum prospectus (for) SO THAT the student IS ABLE to choose a better option.

what is the difference between choose and option?
