Question 32.
Correct answer:
a) nado en el océano
First of all, this sentence is a negative one. Negation is an expression that means no and is used to contradict some or all of the meaning of a positive sentence. So you contradict that you swim in Alaska in winter. This is the correct answer for two things. First, it's the more logical answer. Second, the nado is the conjugation of the verb nadar for the first person singular in the simple present. From option d) miro also stands for the first person singular, but it's not a logical answer in this case.
Question 49.
Correct answer:
c) Nosotros acabamos de comer los tacos.
The group of word we just can be translated as nosotros acabamos de. So in English after this group of words come a verb conjugated in past tense, but in Spanish must come an infinitive verb. Recall that infinitive verbs are the most basic forms of Spanish verbs (ending ar, er and ir). Finally:
We just ate tacos means nosotros acabamos de comer los tacos.
Question 40.
Correct answer:
a) Tu libro
Since we must use the informal way in this exercise, we choose the option u libro as the correct. Tu is the possessive adjective for the second person informal singular. This type of adjectives are used to indicate ownership or possession. They agree in both gender and number with the thing possessed, not the possessor. Moreover, book means libro.
Question 17.
Correct answer:
b) Juan, Paco, y Lorena
Ellos is the subject pronoun that matches the third person plural and means they. There are two words in Spanish that stands for the third person plural, ellas and ellos. We use ellas only for female nouns and ellos when talking about only masculine nouns or to include masculine and feminine nouns in a sentence. That's the case of option b) where Juan and Paco are masculine nouns (because they are men) and Lorena is a feminine noun (because she's a woman).
On the other hand, in option a) we must use nosotros. In option c) ellas and in option d) usted or él depending on the context.
