Question

help.

Answer 1

its not B...since The climate of Ecuador varies by region, due to differences in altitude and, to a degree, in proximity to the equator. The coastal lowlands to the west of Ecuador are typically warm with temperatures in the region of 25 °C (77 °F).

Answer 2

Here are some other interesting facts about Ecuador:

The altitude determines the climate, which shows a great diversity in Ecuador. The mountain valleys experience a mild climate, and the coast and the rainforests in the lowlands have a humid subtropical climate. The Andean highlands are dry and mild, but the Amazon basin has a humid climate similar to the rainforests.

As its name implies, Ecuador experiences little variation in the number of hours of daylight: sunrise and sunset occur at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., respectively.

Quito is the capital of Ecuador, but Guayaquil’s population is greater than that of the capital. The third most populous city is Cuenca.

The culture of Ecuador is shaped by the majority population of Hispanic mestizos who are mixed with Spanish heritage and indigenous or African heritage. Only about 6 percent of Ecuadorians can trace their heritage to colonial-era Spain.

Answer 3

umm.. its A

Answer 4

It's not A, because it says Guayaquil’s population is greater than that of the capital.

Answer 5

According to Wikipedia, Quito it is the highest official capital city in the world.

Answer 6

Well, thats not what it says in the lesson.

Answer 7

Aren't you asking if The capital of Quito is the highest?

Answer 8

Quito is standing at an altitude of 9,350 feet (2,800 meters above sea level)

Answer 9

The question is asking which of the following true..

Answer 10

It says Quito is the capital of Ecuador, but it doesn't say anything about being the highest.

Answer 11

Yes... i know.. true meaning being a fact, no?

Answer 12

Yes its a fact that Quito is the capital, its false that its the highest.

Answer 13

The text only says about population, D is also wrong because the text says " Only about 6 percent of Ecuadorians can trace their heritage to colonial-era Spain."

Answer 14

B is wrong too.

Answer 15

I know C and D are wrong, I'm just not sure if it's A or B.

Answer 16

I think A, but B says in Wikipedia that it is "quite difficult" to use public transportation, but that can be arguable. Not being a fact, i think.

Answer 17

@love10129151 what do you think? since you are watching... :P

Answer 18

Okay now I think its A because it says at an elevation of 9,350 feet (2,800 meters above sea level), it is the highest official capital city in the world. But why doesn't it say that in the lesson? This is weird.

Answer 19

lol... what type of grade is this :P

Answer 20

Okay I found more in the lesson:

Quito is the second most populous city in Ecuador, just behind Guayaquil, with 3 million inhabitants. In 1978 UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization) named the city a World Cultural Heritage Site for its large and well-preserved historic downtown area. In fact, after we adjusted to the altitude, our first excursion was to explore downtown Quito. We decided not to rent a car because driving in Quito can be a hectic experience, especially in the old town, so we relied on Quito’s excellent public transportation system.

The city has three electric bus routes: the Trole, the Ecovía, and the Metrobús. You can also travel by local buses, which are safe and convenient. They usually cost $0.25, and you pay as you board, which makes them a great economical option. Taxis are also plentiful. In Quito you can easily tell which cars are taxis because they are all yellow and have red “taxi” stickers in the window.

Answer 21

they relied on public transportation because its hectic using a rented car?

Answer 22

What?

Answer 23

During our family vacation to Ecuador, we stayed in two different places. El primero was Guayaquil, the country’s largest and most populous city, with almost 4 million people! It is one of the main South American ports on the Pacific Ocean and the most popular access point for the Galápagos Islands. Guayaquil is home to beautiful neighborhoods nestled along the Guayas River, yet has a decidedly cosmopolitan atmosphere.

We really enjoyed our time in Guayaquil, but my favorite city was San Francisco de Quito, or as it is known to most, Quito. It is the capital of Ecuador as well as the highest capital city of the world measuring in at 9,350 feet above sea level! The views around the city are breathtaking, but it was the altitude that took our breath away . . . literally. We spent our first day in the city relaxing and getting used to the change in elevation.

Answer 24

So its A :P

Answer 25

I thought it was C for a minute but I think it's A too.

Answer 26

ok..g2g...hoped i helped :D

Answer 27
