Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) old

  • A) tallIncorrect. Tall describes height, and its opposite is short, not young.
  • B) happyIncorrect. Happy describes a feeling, and its opposite is sad.
  • C) oldCorrect. Young means with few years and old means with many years, so they are opposites.
  • D) shortIncorrect. Short describes height or hair length, not age.

💡 Explicación

"Young" significa joven y su opuesto es "old", viejo o mayor. "Tall" y "short" hablan de la estatura y "happy" de un sentimiento, no de la edad.

Pregunta 2

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) short

  • A) oldIncorrect. Old describes age, and the sentence compares how tall they are.
  • B) curlyIncorrect. Curly describes hair with curls, not the height of a person.
  • C) shortCorrect. Mario is 1 meter and his dad is 1.80 meters, so Mario is short.
  • D) longIncorrect. Long describes hair or objects, and we do not say a person is long.

💡 Explicación

Mario mide menos que su papá, por eso decimos que Mario es bajo, "short", y su papá es alto, "tall". Para personas no usamos "long": esa palabra es para el cabello o los objetos.

  • A) straightIncorrect. Straight hair has no curls; it is the opposite of curly.
  • B) longIncorrect. Long tells how much hair there is, not if it has curls.
