Questions
You answer them with the text in front of you. It isn't memory: it's understanding.
Where is the library?
Near Sara’s house — The library is “cerca de mi casa”: near Sara’s home. The text does not give Luis’s school location.
Copy the Spanish word: Sara’s phone is in her ___.
mochila — “Mi móvil está en la mochila” locates the phone in the backpack. Copy “mochila”, rather than translating it.
Sara is sitting next to the window.
True — “En una mesa junto a la ventana” means at a table next to the window.
Why is Sara able to give Luis a pencil?
She has two pencils in her pencil case — Sara has two pencils in her pencil case and gives one to Luis. Her backpack contains her phone; the text does not place a spare pencil there or say that she finds one on Luis’s table.
What happens to the two pencils at the end?
They have one pencil each — Sara has two pencils and gives one to Luis. That leaves one for Sara and one for Luis; neither has both.
Luis is sitting at Sara’s table.
False — “En otra mesa” means at a different table. They are in the same library, but not at the same table.
