question 12 (5 points)

es muy raro que un recién llegado tenga dificultad en respirar en la paz.
true
false

Explanation:

Analyze the subject of Question 11

The subject of the sentence is "El muchacho" (the boy), which is a third-person singular noun. We need to conjugate the verb aconsejar (to advise) to agree with this subject.

Evaluate the verb options for Question 11

Using Spanish Subject Verb Agreement, we analyze the two choices:

• Option (a) aconsejo is the first-person singular present tense form ("I advise").
• Option (b) aconsejó is the third-person singular preterite (past) tense form ("he advised").

Since the subject is "El muchacho" (he), the correct conjugated form is aconsejó.

Analyze the statement in Question 12

The statement is: "Es muy raro que un recién llegado tenga dificultad en respirar en La Paz." (It is very rare for a newcomer to have difficulty breathing in La Paz.)

Evaluate the truth value of Question 12

Using Bolivian Geography Facts, we know that La Paz is located at an extremely high altitude (about 3,640 meters or 11,943 feet above sea level). At this altitude, the air is thin, and it is highly common for newcomers to experience altitude sickness (soroche), which includes shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Therefore, saying it is "very rare" (muy raro) to have difficulty breathing is false.

Answer:

Question 11

• a) aconsejo
• b) aconsejó (Correct answer)

Question 12

• True
• False (Correct answer)
