Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 3
In this question, you are filling in the blanks with the most logical response about Daniel, based on information you know about Jimena, his opposite.
This sentence reads: “Jimena is timid. Daniel is ______.”
Step 2
2 of 3
The two options you are given to complete the sentence are *extrovertido* or *guapo*.
Since *timida* means timid, the opposite would certainly not be *guapo*, which means handsome. *Extrovertido* is another word spelled very similarly to its English counterpart.
Result

extrovertido
Exercise 2

1 of 3
In this question, you are filling in the blanks with the most logical response about Daniel, based on information you know about Jimena, his opposite.
This sentence reads “Jimena is dark-haired”
Step 2
2 of 3
The options you are given are *alto* or *rubio*. We know that *alto* means tall and its opposite is *bajo*, so *rubio* must be the correct answer. In fact, *rubio* means blond.

Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 3
In this question, you are filling in the blanks with the most logical response about Daniel, based on information you know about Jimena, his opposite.
This sentence reads “Jimena is witty. Daniel is ______.”
Step 2
2 of 3
The two options you are given are *atlético* and *serio*. Both of these are spelled much like their English counterparts, “athletic” and “serious”. Just don’t forget the accent in *atlético*. Since *graciosa* means witty, the option here that makes the most sense as an opposite is *serio*.
Result
3 of 3
serio
Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 3
In this question, you are filling in the blanks with the most logical response about Daniel, based on information you know about Jimena, his opposite.
This sentence reads “Jimena is short. Daniel is _______.”
Step 2
2 of 3
The options you are given are *alto* and *pelirrojo*. *Pelirrojo* is a combination of two words, *pelo* (hair) and *rojo* (red). Since the first part of the sentence is talking about Jimena’s height, it wouldn’t make sense to then talk about the color of Daniel’s hair. The correct option is *alto* which we already know means “tall”.
Result
3 of 3
alto
Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 3
In this question, you are filling in the blanks with the most logical response about Daniel, based on information you know about Jimena, his opposite.
This sentence reads “Jimena is athletic. Daniel is _____.”
Step 2
2 of 3
The options you are given are *moreno* and *intelectual*. Be careful when spelling *intelectual* to not accidentally spell it with an extra “l”, like in English. In Spanish, the “double l” is its own letter. Although *intelectual* might not be thought of as the exact opposite of *atlética*, of the two options its the one that makes the most sense.
