Hello.
Please read the sentences below.
Michael and David met when the two boys played Little League baseball together. Baseball, not basketball, was Michael's first love. He was average high for his age and found that baseball was better than basketball for his skills.
These are part of a passage which appeared on the entrance exam of a Japanese high school. Students/Examinees are asked to change the underlined word ('high') into the suitable form.
I think it should be changed to "height", but I'm not very confident. Is "to be average height" correct English?
Thank you.
