    • Pepita realizes it is a good thing to be able to speak two languages.

    Correct Answer
    A. Pepita realizes it is a good thing to be able to speak two languages.

    The main idea of the passage is that Pepita realizes it is a good thing to be able to speak two languages. This is evident from her statement, "And oh, Lobo, I’m glad I talked twice. It’s great to speak two languages!" This shows that Pepita values her ability to speak two languages and sees it as a positive thing.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Pepita is tired of  speaking two languages.  What would she MOST likely do if she could only speak English?

    • She would ignore the people speaking Spanish to her.

    • Pepita would pretend to talk Spanish.

    • She would try to remember Spanish words she had learned from other people.

    • Pepita pretend that she understood them then leave.

    Correct Answer
    A. She would try to remember Spanish words she had learned from other people.
    Explanation
    If Pepita could only speak English, the most likely thing she would do is try to remember Spanish words she had learned from other people. This suggests that she values her ability to communicate in both languages and wants to maintain her knowledge of Spanish, even if she can only speak English. Ignoring people speaking Spanish to her or pretending to talk Spanish would not be effective ways for her to navigate her language barrier, and pretending to understand them and then leaving would not help her maintain her Spanish skills.
