Explanation:

Analyze Question 5

The statement is: "No sabemos quién escribió el cuento El mensajero de San Martín." (We do not know who wrote the story El mensajero de San Martín).
This is a reading comprehension question based on a historical or literary text. The story "El mensajero de San Martín" is a well-known historical legend/short story in Spanish-speaking school curricula, often attributed to Herminio Almendros or classified as an anonymous historical legend depending on the specific textbook unit. However, in standard literary history, the author of this specific adapted children's story is known (Herminio Almendros). Let's look at the literal historical fact: the author is known, making the statement "We do not know who wrote..." false.

Analyze Question 6

The sentence is: "Yo creo que mis padres ________ ir a la playa este fin de semana."
We need to choose between deben (indicative) and deban (subjunctive).

• The main clause uses Yo creo que... (I believe that...).
• Using Spanish Subject Verb Agreement and the rules of mood selection, verbs of belief, certainty, and affirmation (like creer, pensar, estar seguro de) trigger the indicative mood in the subordinate clause when used in affirmative sentences.
• Therefore, creo que requires the indicative form deben rather than the subjunctive form deban.

Answer:

Question 5

• True
• False (Correct answer)

Question 6

• deben (Correct answer)
• deban
