In Puerto Rico, visiting friends and relatives is considered a social obligation and it is not uncommon for guests to arrive unannounced. If visitors arrive at mealtime, the hosts generally invite them to join the meal. In most cases, guests will politely:

decline the offer and leave immediately.

eat their meal on the floor to show respect for the host.

take over the cooking and serve themselves first.

decline the offer a few times before finally accepting.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: decline the offer a few times before finally accepting.

Explanation: The politeness is a big thing in the Hispanic countries, and the family/friend relationships are usually strong, so it is common to visit them (It is not really a "social obligation")

When you are invited to join the meal, the polite thing to do is join them, but the invitation may be an "obligation" itself, so you may decline the offer, and if they insist, is because they want you to join them, so is the moment to accept.

the right answer is the fourth one, "decline the offer a few times before finally accepting."

Answer 2

Looking at the situation, when visitors arrive at mealtime and are invited by the hosts to join the meal, in most cases therefore the guests will politely decline the offer a few times before finally accepting.

Hispanic countries place a high value on relationships with family/friends, which is an established cultural trait in these countries.

Therefore unannounced visits are common and not seen as a rude situation.

Therefore, it is correct to state that the guests in this case may refuse the offer out of politeness, but after the hosts' insistence, finally accept the invitation.

Sus orejas están coloradas.

In the second statement, the best form of "privado" is "en privado", that's the way that's always being used in spanish. But, if you are obligated to use one of the given options, then "privadamente" should be the close one.

Necesito hablar contigo privadamente.

2. (this) tortuga

a. este

b. aquel

c. esta

d. esa


Answers

estas arañas
esta tortuga
1. Right answer:b. estas

Estas is a demonstrative adjective. Demonstrative adjectives demonstrate a quality about the noun they modify. Here that quality is the location in respect to the speaker or the listener. Estas is the feminine plural form of este that is used to point out something near to the speaker in space or time. So the spiders are near to the speaker. Finally:

Estas arañas  


2. Right answer:c. esta

Esta is another demonstrative adjective that comes from este. So esta is its feminine singular form. We use esta because the noun tortuga is given in feminine singular form. Recall that adjectives must agree with the nouns they modify in both gender and number. Finally:

Esta tortuga

Haz un adverbio de este adjetivo: fácil

Answers

un adverbio- informan del modo o manera en la cual desarrollas una acción.

answer:fácilmente
Right answer: fácilmente

Firtsly, is important to explain that an adverb is a part of the sentence that complements a verb, an adjective, other adverbs and even sentences.  

Adverbs express circumstances, such as mode, place, time, quantity, affirmation, doubt; answering questions such as: when?, where?, how?, in what way?, among others.

In other words:

The main function of adverbs is to act as modifiers or complements of a verb or verbal phrase

Now, in Spanish there are several types of adverbs, but in this specific case we are talking about the adverb of manner.

The adverb of manner can be formed by placing the suffix -mente at the end of some adjectives.

As it is the case of the adjective fácil (easy) that changes to an adverb of manner as fácilmente (easily).

Usted (blank) (ir / irse) a llegar antes que (before) los demás invitados, ¿no?

Answers

Usted se preocupa mucho por llegar antes que los (before) demás invitados, ¿no?

En términos generales, un verbo reflexivo es un verbo transitivo cuyo sujeto y objeto se refieren a la misma persona o cosa, por lo que el objeto debe ser un pronombre reflexivo.

Además, los verbos reflexivos se utilizan para representar acciones realizadas por el sujeto sobre sí mismo. Las acciones realizadas sobre uno mismo incluyen peinarse, vestirse, dormir, acostarse, etc.

En los verbos reflexivos, el sujeto que realiza la acción es el mismo que la recibe, por lo que la voz pasiva, al cambiar el sujeto que realiza la acción por el que la recibe, no modifica la construcción de la oración.

Fill in the blank Sentences with Reflexive Verbs.
