The High Holy Days are the Days of Awe.

The Jewish High Holy Days are observed during the 10 day period between the first day (Rosh Hashanah) and the 10th day (Yom Kippur) of Tishri, the seventh month of the Jewish calendar.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the most important of all Jewish Holidays and the only holidays that are purely religious, as they are not related to any historical or natural event.
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is celebrated the first and second days of Tishri. It is a time of family gatherings, special meals and sweet tasting foods.
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the most solemn day of the Jewish year and is observed on the tenth day of Tishri. It is a day of fasting, reflection and prayers.

The 10 days or Repentance, the actual festivals (Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur) are called the Days of Awe.

The 10 Days actually include the two festivals and two of the days are fast days. Yom Kippur is a 25 hour fast, the day after Rosh HaShanah is a minor fast from Sunrise to sunset called Tzom Gedalia (Fast of Gedalia to commemorate the assassination of Gedaliah Ben Achikam, the Governor of Israel during the days of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylonia). This will take place on Sunday the 16th September this year because the only fast that is ever observed on the Sabbath is Yom Kippur.

According to my rabbi here in Tijuana the correct answer is what is shown below.

The High Holy Days are the Days of Awe.

The Jewish High Holy Days are observed during the 10 day period between the first day (Rosh Hashanah) and the 10th day (Yom Kippur) of Tishri, the seventh month of the Jewish calendar.

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the most important of all Jewish Holidays and the only holidays that are purely religious, as they are not related to any historical or natural event.

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is celebrated the first and second days of Tishri. It is a time of family gatherings, special meals and sweet tasting foods.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the most solemn day of the Jewish year and is observed on the tenth day of Tishri. It is a day of fasting, reflection and prayers.

I hope that my answer was quite useful.

The ten days between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are called the Aseret Yemei Teshuva, or the Ten Days of Repentance. The High Holy Days/Days of Awe are translations of Yamim Noraim, which is the term for the whole set of holidays at the beginning of Tishrei, including Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashana themselves - the days between them have the separate name of Aseret Yemei Teshuva. A person who does Teshuva (repents) sincerely during these days is forgiven immediately. It is a very powerful time for repentance.

Aseret Y'mei Tshuva (עשרת ימי תשובה) meaning the 10 days of repentance. The High Holy Days refers more to the season than those 10 days in specific.
