Which English term corresponds to the German term 'Sporthalle'?

• A. gymnasium
• B. gym
• C. gym(nasium)
• D. athletic hall

Answer: (C)

This tests how a German word for a sports facility maps to English, showing that English often has both a formal name and a common short form for the same place. Sporthalle is a hall used for indoor sports, so in English you can refer to it as a gymnasium when you want the full term, or simply a gym in casual usage. The option that writes gym(nasium) covers both forms, making it the best match because it fits both formal and everyday language. The other terms are less precise: gymnasium is correct in some contexts but doesn’t acknowledge the casual usage; gym alone is informal and may refer to a different kind of space; athletic hall isn’t a standard translation for this facility.
