In this task, you will say how RaĂșl is feeling about the exam. Logically, he could either be “contento” or “nervioso” about it. However, the next sentence tells you that the exam is difficult, which leads you to choose “nervioso” as the right option.

Susana tiene mucha tarea; estĂĄ muy _.

In this example, the subject has a lot of homework. Three logical solutions are possible: Susana could either be bored, busy or calm. However, this sentence alone does not give enough information to say that she is either bored or calm, thus you would select “ocupada” as the adecuate solution.

La clase de mĂșsica no es aburrida porque el maestro es _.

Method.
Four incomplete sentences are given in this exercise. Each sentence contains information on either Roberto or Lorena. As the exercise suggests, one is the opposite of the other. This means that you will complete the sentence by using the opposite description of either one of them. Remember, opposites are called antonyms in linguistics. Think of meaning, as it will make it easier for you to find an antonym. Always match the adjective with the word or phrase it describes. You may refer to the below solutions for further guidance.
