Amy and her older sister were shopping. They saw this sign： Oranges 5 for $3.00. Buy some and enjoy their delicious flavour! Amy started to laugh.
“What's funny?” asked her sister.
“They spelled flavor wrong, didn't they?” said Amy.
“No, they didn't. They used British English,” said her sister. “Neither of them is wrong.”
“What do you mean?” asked Amy.
“There are many different kinds of English. American and British “English are the most popular ones,” said her sister.
“What are the differences?” asked Amy.
“The biggest difference between American and British English is the words. For example, apartments are called flats by the British. Erasers are called rubbers. Also, movies are called films, and pants are called trousers,” said her sister.

（2）句意：用正确的顺序上说或写一个单词的字母，是单词拼写spell。故为spell。
（3）句意：两个都不是错的，故用both表示两个都。翻译过来两个都正确。主语是两个，因此be动词用are。故为Both；are。
（4）根据文中The biggest difference between American and British English is the words.故为the words。
