Question

4A popular item on many restaurant menus is potatoes au gratin. In French, the phrase au gratin means “with gratings.” In English, we use the term au gratin to describe a food topped with grated cheese. Many restaurants also offer a soup du jour. The definition of the term du jour is “of the day.” That’s exactly what the soup du jour is: a special soup offering for the day. Before dinner, you might order hors d'oeuvres. Hors d'oeuvres is French for "outside of work," but Americans use the term to describe a food item that is separate from, or comes before, the entrée. The word entrée is also French. To Americans, an entrée is the main meal, but to the French, it means "entry."

Which answer choice uses the word separate differently from how the word is used in the passage?
A) Sue and Bob decided to separate their vegetable and flower gardens.
B) When you order pancakes, make sure the eggs are separate from the greasy syrup.
C) I wanted my paycheck separate from my savings account this month after payday.
D) Please keep my son separate from the bully terrorizing his preschool classroom.
