Question

Assuming today is Friday, March 14, choose the correct response to this question.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: Es viernes, el catorce de marzo.

Explanation:

There are three parts in this matter: the Month of the Year, the Day of the Week, and the Number of the Date.

1. The Month of the Year: March. In Spanish is called "Marzo". The third question is using a wrong month, as "Mayo" means May, and not March, so it is incorrect.
2. The Day of the Week: Friday, in Spanish is "Viernes". But the second and third options are using the word "Miércoles" that means Wednesday, and therefore not correct.
3. The number of the Date: 14, is not four times 10, as the third option is saying by mentioning the number "Cuarenta" that means forty in English. Instead, 14 is the total of ten plus four, as the first option is indicating, but the number 14 has a name for its own: FOURTEEN ("catorce"), and that is the correct way to refer it.

Considering the above, the fist option is using correctly the Day of the Week ("Viernes") and the Month of the Year ("Marzo"), but not the Number of the Date, because saying "Diez y cuatro" is wrong when referring to the number 14.

The second option is using correctly the Number of the Date ("catorce") and the Month of the Year ("Marzo"), but not the Day of the Week, as it is mentioning Wednesday and not Friday.

The third option does not have a correct reference to the date of the question, as it is using Wednesday instead of Friday, Forty instead of Fourteen, and May instead of March.

The fourth option is the correct one, because is translating correctly the Day of the Week, using "Viernes" for Friday; the Number of the Date, using "Catorce" for 14; and the Month of the Year, using "Marzo" for March.

Answer 2

The answer would be Es viernes, el catorce (when you say 14 you don't say diez y cuatro so that's why it can't be the first one) de marzo. I hope this helps!
