Educacion is the cognate because in english its education and if u say both it sound the same
I would say Dominican Republic only because I am Dominican and my parents call my room a dormitorio, a dorm. I’m not sure how the passage can make it clear where he lives though..
Elena : My friends are the United States also (also) ___ They're from California.
I assume : My friends are from the United States also US. They're from California.
Answer: b. US
translation Mis amigos son de los Estados Unidos, también U.S. Ellos son de California.
Hope this helps!
The correct answer is A. Ella es una companera de clase.
This sentence literally means - She is a classmate.
B is incorrect because it means - They are from California. C is incorrect because it means - His name is Mr. Martin. D is incorrect because that means - What's your name?
