Read the text twice carefully. Pay attention to who the grammatical subjects are. Then answer the questions according to the information found in the text. Below, you will find an analysis of each question. You may refer to these analyses for further guidance.

¿Cómo es Rafael?

You will find a sentence about Rafael in the first line. Specifically, it says the he is blond, and later on in the text, it says the the blond person is very lazy, serious and a bit mean. Thus, all of these descriptions refer to the same person.

Rafael es rubio. También es un muy perezoso, serio y un poco malo.

¿Cómo son Laura y Raquel?

In the second row, you will find a description of Laura and Raquel.

Laura y Raquel son muy altas y tienen el pelo castaño. También son muy inteligentes.
