Having a big "party (called a "prom") in the junior and senior years of high school is a great American tradition. It’s a special night which people plan carefully, and remember for the rest of their lives. The high school prom season usually starts in April and continues through May. Planning starts as early as February, however, when the magazines and stores begin to show prom fashions. There is a lot of organization to be done. Proms are held in many different places. Some schools still hold their proms in school gymnasiums but this is considered a bit old fashioned now. Most high schools today have their Junior and Senior proms at a hotel or country club. Girls spend a long time deciding what kind of dress to wear and fashions change from year to year, and from school to school. Fashions range from cocktail dresses to full ball gowns and can be extremely glamorous. Sometimes girls have their dresses specially made by dressmakers. Boys generally wear tuxedos. Each year there are different styles, but as the proms are quite traditional occasions, classic clothes are usually a good choice.

A) a party especially important to high school students in the US.

C) a traditional fashion carnival dedicated to high school students.
