Do you understand what the questions are asking you? Question 1 It is asking you to take the sentence "Comi el platano" which is translated to "I ate the banana." Basically, reduce the sentence to the simplest form. Try to say the same thing without using the object-type word. Think. In that sentence, what is an object? Something you can hold, a concrete thing. If you can't figure it out, just look at the English translation and figure out what the object is. So from there, figure out how you would say the same thing without the object word. Think of it as going from "I want the *blue brush, the red fish, and the green ball*" to "I want them *all*". Do you see how I reduced the sentence. Question 2 Okay, this one is a little tricky to answer because there are two Cartagenas (Spain and Colombia) but the most popular one and probably the one referred to in this question is the Colombian city. Soooo here is your daily reminder that GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND :D This is answered with a quick google search. Just rephrase the question. The question is asking for what it is known for *producing*. What's another way of saying that? When a city takes stuff in it's called importing, so think about what it would be called if the city sends stuff out. Then find the answer by typing "Cartagena Colombia _____" with the blank being the (sending stuff out) word. P.S You shouldn't even need to click any links or scroll. It's in the little preview under the link "WPS - Port of Cartagena review" Question 3 Think about the words...Realism is defined as "the movement or style of representing familiar things as they actually are." In other words, it's about being realistic or close to how things would be in real life. To incorporate magic (something not real) and mix it with realism would mean that it's magic as close to what would be possible in the real world. The answer says the same thing but rephrases it. See if you can figure out which one it is. Question 4 Look at that! The direct object again. Refer back to the explanation for Question 1.
