    • Madera

    • Fiesta

    • Vida

    • Altar

    Correct Answer
    A. Vida
    Explanation
    En este día se celebra la unión entre la vida y la muerte. Esta celebración, conocida como el Día de los Muertos, es una festividad mexicana en la que se honra a los seres queridos que han fallecido. Se cree que durante esta fecha, las almas de los difuntos regresan al mundo de los vivos para reunirse con sus familiares y ser recordados. Por lo tanto, la unión entre la vida y la muerte es el tema central de esta festividad.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Se preparan ______________ especiales para esta ocasión.

    • Comidas

    • Vidas

    • Maderas

    • Mayas

    Correct Answer
    A. Comidas
    Explanation
    The phrase "Se preparan comidas especiales para esta ocasión" translates to "Special meals are prepared for this occasion." This suggests that the missing word should be a noun that can be prepared or made for a specific event or occasion. Among the options provided, only "comidas" fits this description as it means "meals" in Spanish. Therefore, "comidas" is the correct answer.

    • Calaveras

    • Esqueletos

    Correct Answer
    A. Cementerios
    Explanation
    Las familias y los muertos se reúnen en los cementerios. Los cementerios son lugares destinados para enterrar y honrar a los muertos. Las familias suelen visitar los cementerios para recordar a sus seres queridos fallecidos, llevar flores y rezar por ellos. En muchas culturas, los cementerios son considerados como lugares sagrados y se les da un trato de respeto y reverencia.

    Correct Answer
    A. Altares
    Explanation
    En las casas, las familias hacen altares para sus muertos. (In houses, families make altars for their deceased). This answer makes sense in the context of the question, as it mentions a common practice in many cultures where families create altars to honor and remember their deceased loved ones. The other options (ciclos, amigos, cementerios) do not fit the context of the question and are not related to the topic of honoring the dead in homes.
