Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 3
This question gives you three options to complete the sentence, and you must choose the most logical choice. The sentence, in English, reads “Luis doesn’t have brown hair. He is….”
Step 2
2 of 3
The three options you are presented with are:

a. short

b. blond

c. lazy

While the beginning part of the sentence could be talking about his hair or his complexion, one answer makes sense given the context clues. The opposite of lazy is active, and the opposite of short is tall, neither of which were said in the first part of the sentence.

b. rubio
Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 3
This question gives you three options to complete the sentence, and you must choose the most logical choice. The sentence, in English, reads “Marta isn’t unfriendly, she is…”
Step 2
2 of 3
The three options you are given are:

a. timid

b. active

c. friendly

This one should be fairly easy to figure out, as unfriendly and its opposite both are spelled with a similar root: *antipática* and *simpática*.

Result
3 of 3
c. simpática
Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 3
This question gives you three options to complete the sentence, and you must choose the most logical choice. The sentence, in English, reads “Luis isn’t lazy, he is…”
Step 2
2 of 3
The options you are given are:

a. hardworking

b. intelligent

c. redhead

While there are a couple words that could feasibly be the opposite of lazy (hardworking, active, athletic…), there is only one option given to you that makes sense. We aren’t talking about his hair color nor his intelligence, so b. and c. don’t make sense.

a. trabajador
Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 3
This question gives you three options to complete the sentence, and you must choose the most logical choice. The sentence, in English, reads “Marta isn’t timid, she is…”
Step 2
2 of 3
The options you are given are:

a. extroverted

b. dark haired

c. athletic

Seeing as we’re not talking about her hair color or physical fitness, it would seem that the only logical answer is a.

Result
3 of 3
a. extrovertida
Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 3
This question gives you three options to complete the sentence, and you must choose the most logical choice. The sentence, in English, reads “Luis isn’t short, he is…”
Step 2
2 of 3
The options you are given are:

a. romantic

b. witty

c. tall

*Gracioso* may be a hard word to figure out at first. If you have trouble, the end of the chapter has a vocabulary list where you can make sure you’re translating all these words correctly. Luckily, *romántico* makes sense phonetically. And the alto clef in music is the higher of the two, so keep that in mind when remembering what *alto* means.

c. alto
Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 3
This question gives you three options to complete the sentence, and you must choose the most logical choice. The sentence, in English, reads “Marta isn’t a redhead, she is…”
Step 2
2 of 3
The options you are given are:

a. dark-haired

b. lazy

c. pretty

Since were talking about Marta’s hair in the first part of the sentence, the most logical answer for the second half will be the answer talking about her hair color. That is, answer a.

a. morena
