Answer:
Guatemala is often pictured as hot and tropical, and in some places this is certainly the case — along the coasts and in lowland jungles, for example. However, in mountainous areas, the temperatures cool off. Elevation is the main determinant of climate and weather here. Put simply, the higher up you go, the colder it is likely to be. Precipitation is largely dependent on how close to the coast you are and what side of a mountain chain you are on.
Guatemala is bordered by both the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. A string of volcanic peaks runs down the country’s center, extending east to west from El Salvador to Mexico. Near the border with El Salvador, the peaks tend to get lower in height. In total, there are 33 volcanoes, some of which are active. The Tajumulco Volcano, at 13,845 feet (4,200 m), is the highest peak in all of Central America. Many of the volcanoes, especially the ones near Guatemala City and Lake Atitlán, can be climbed.
The Sierra de los Cuchumatanes is a mountain range that extends from Mexico into Guatemala. This nonvolcanic mountain range is the highest mountain chain in Central America — its highest point is 12,588 feet (3,837 m). Another range, Sierra de Las Minas, is found in the eastern portion of Guatemala. Petén is mostly lowland areas, although there are a few smaller mountains here as well.
Temperatures in Guatemala vary largely based upon altitude. The hottest areas are near the coasts and in the lowlands. These tend to have an average annual temperature around 80°F (27°C). At elevations around 4,000–6,000 feet (1,200–1,800 m), which correspond to the mountainous valleys near Guatemala City and Antigua, the temperatures are fairly mild — year-round temperatures hover around 60–70°F (16–21°C). At higher elevations the temperature averages 40°F (4°C).

Explanation:
To answer this exercise we first have to know what <u>REFLEXIVE VERBS</u> are because it is the main theme of our sentences.
<h3><em>
REFLEXIVE VERBS</em></h3>
They are a special kind of CONJUGATED VERBS that are transitive. It means that <u>the action expressed by the verb is affecting the subject of the sentence.</u> Thus, the person who does the action is the same person who receives that action.
<u>For example:</u> <em>Yo me peino</em> (I comb my hair); here I’m the person who is doing the action of “combing”, but my own hair is who is being combed, so I do and receive the action of the verb at the same time.
Verbs related to<u> personal routines</u> (for example combing, making up, dressing up, washing, having a bath, etc.) are commonly <u>REFLEXIVE VERBS</u>.
<u><em>GRAMMATICAL RULE:</em></u> It is really important to notice that REFLEXIVE VERBS are always accompanied by REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS, which are in charge of expressing who is receiving the action.
<h3><em>REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS</em></h3>
- Yo –Me
- Tú- Te
- ÉL/ella/usted- Se
- Nosotros-Nos
- Vosotros-Os
- Ellos-Se
Now, here we have the answers, please focus your attention in the conjugated verb and the reflexive pronoun that is always next to it. Each example has the same conjugated verb but one sentence is reflexive and the other isn’t.
