<h2>1. Right answer:</h2><h3>False</h3><h3 />
The sentence cuando el ascensor no funciona, yo uso la piscina translates into when the elevator does not work, I use the pool. So, this is an illogical sentence because it doesn't make sense to use the pool when the elevator doesn't work, it is like to use the stairs
for this purpose.
<h2>2. Right answer:</h2><h3>piscina</h3><h3 />
Piscina translates into pool and is a large structure filled with water for people to swim in. This also translates into swimming pool. Therefore, the sentence <em>yo nado en la piscina </em>translates into <em>I swim in the pool. </em>So nado is the conjugation of the verb nadar for the first person singular in the simple present.
<h2>3. Right answer:</h2><h3>recepcionista</h3>
Recepcionista translates into receptionist and refers to someone who works in reception at a hotel and office and whose job is to welcome visitors, deal with questions, etc. Hence if you need a hotel room, you must talk to the receptionist, so she will help you out.
<h2>4. Right answer:</h2><h3>el viajero</h3>
El viajero means the traveler and is someone who is traveling, or who travels often. Here <em>el </em>represents the masculine and singular definite article. Recall that the definite article is used when thinking that the reader or listener knows which particular thing or person we are talking about, perhaps because we have already mentioned it. Accordingly, the sentence <em>el viajero es el muchacho que viaja </em>translates into <em>the traveler is the young man who travels.</em>
<h2>5. Right answer:</h2><h3>escalera</h3>
La escalera is singular but can be translated as the stairs and is a set of steps that allow you to go from one level of a building to another. So escalera is a feminine and singular noun, so we need to use the singular and feminine definite article, which is <em>la. </em>
<h2>6. Right answer:</h2><h3>baño</h3>
This sentence points out to something inside the hotel room. What this means is that that you are asking for a private room. A bathroom is the more logical answer here. On the other hand, the verb querer is being used here matching the first person singular in the simple present, that is, its conjugation for this person is quiero
<h2>
7. Right answer:</h2><h3>
c. viajero</h3><h3 />
<em>La persona que viaja es un viajero </em>means <em>the person who travels is a traveler. </em>So here we use two nouns, persona which is a feminine and singular noun, accompanied by the definite article la and viajero which is a masculine and singular noun, accompanied by the indefinite article un. Finally, viajar is the verb used here.
<h2>
8. Right answer:</h2><h3>
b. maleta</h3><h3 />
<em>Yo pongo la ropa en una maleta </em>means <em>I put the clothes in a suitcase. </em>So maleta translates into suitcase and is a large bag with flat sides and a handle that is used for carrying clothes and other things when traveling. Also, the word pongo comes from the verb poner and is the conjugation of this verb for the first person singular in the simple present.
<h2>
9. Right answer:</h2><h3>
a. individual</h3><h3 />
<em>Una persona necesita una habitación individual </em>means <em>One person needs a single room. </em>So this is logical because <em>a single room </em>is a room with a single bed that is intended for one person to sleep in a hotel. Here the word necesita comes from the verb necesitar and is the conjugation of this verb for the third person singular in the simple present.

10. Right answer:</h2><h3>
Yes</h3><h3 />
<em>Es posible bajar en el ascensor o en la escalera </em>translates into <em>It is possible to go down in the elevator or on the stairs. </em>Therefore, there are two possibilities when you are in a building. Perhaps you hate elevators and prefer to take the stairs, or you hate the stairs and prefer to take the elevator.
