Answer:
The words that could fill the blanks in each case are:
- <em>Mi tía es </em><u><em>mexicana</em></u><em>. Vive en Guadalajara. </em>
- <em>Mi primo no es rubio, es </em><em><u>blanco</u></em><em>. </em>
- <em>Mi novio cree que la clase no es fácil; es </em><u><em>difícil</em></u><em>. </em>
- <em>Los libros son </em><u><em>interesantes</em></u><em>; me gustan mucho. </em>
- <em>Mis hermanos son </em><u><em>tímidos</em></u><em>; no tienen muchos amigos. </em>
- <em>Las gemelas tienen quince años. Son </em><u><em>quinceañeras</em></u><em>.</em>
Explanation:
The translation of the sentences is:
- My aunt is <u>Mexican</u>. Lives in Guadalajara.
- My cousin is not blond, he is <u>white</u>.
- My boyfriend thinks class is not easy; it's <u>hard</u>.
- The books are <u>interesting</u>; I like them very much.
- My brothers are <u>shy</u>; they do not have many friends.
- The twins are fifteen years old. They are <u>quinceañeras</u>.
Since there are no options to choose the most appropriate word, I have selected for you those that I consider best apply to the context of the sentence, as I explain below:
- <em>"Mexicana"</em> is chosen because it is mentioned that he lives in a state of that country.
- <em>"Blanco"</em> is chosen since it could be another option, in addition to brown or perhaps Caucasian.
- <em>"Difícil"</em> is the opposite of easy.
- Regularly when a book likes it very much, it is very "interesante."
- Shy people regularly have few friends.
- In many Latin American countries, girls who turn 15 are called <em>"quinceañeras."</em>
Answer:
I spent the week in a monastery in Ukiah; I just came back last night. It's called the City of a Thousand Buddhas, and it's free to stay there, although you can donate if you want. I went there to attend the ceremonies and events; I spent a lot of time meditating, but I also helped with about 100 students from Humboldt University who came to learn about the monastery. I've been there many times since I started going last year. It's a nice change — it's a different world, where everything is very slow-paced and serene.'
// Pasé la semana en un monasterio en Ukiah; Regresé anoche. Se llama la Ciudad de los Mil Budas y es gratis quedarse allí, aunque puede donar si lo desea. Fui allí para asistir a las ceremonias y eventos; Pasé mucho tiempo meditando, pero también ayudé con unos 100 estudiantes de la Universidad Humboldt que vinieron a aprender sobre el monasterio. He estado allí muchas veces desde que empecé a ir el año pasado. Es un cambio agradable, es un mundo diferente, donde todo es muy lento y sereno '.
