In the exam (French)

  2. bA fine of only €35Une amende de 35 € seulement
  3. cTwo years in prison and a fine of €30,000Deux ans de prison et 30 000 € d’amendeCorrect answer
  4. dTen years in prison and a fine of €150,000Dix ans de prison et 150 000 € d’amende

Why?

Parents must ensure their children aged 3 to 16 receive an education. If they do not, and this puts the child’s education at risk, they risk up to two years in prison and a fine of €30,000. Lighter penalties exist for repeated absences without a reason.
