Questions and Answers

- A.
  
  Es la una ?
- B.
  
  Que Hora Es?
- C.
  
  ¿Quieres pescado?
- D.
  
  Cuando es el almuerzo?
Correct Answer
B. Que Hora Es?

Explanation
The correct answer is "Que Hora Es?" This is because "Que Hora Es?" translates to "What time is it?" in English, which is the appropriate way to ask for the time in Spanish. "Es la una?" translates to "Is it one o'clock?", which is not asking for the current time. "¿Quieres pescado?" translates to "Do you want fish?", which is unrelated to asking for the time. "Cuando es el almuerzo?" translates to "When is lunch?", which is also unrelated to asking for the current time.

__ doce un punto. What goes in the blank?
- A.
  
  Son las
- B.
  
  Es la
Correct Answer
A. Son las

Explanation
The correct answer is "Son las." This is because the phrase "Son las" is used in Spanish to indicate the time when it is plural, referring to multiple hours. On the other hand, "Es la" is used when it is singular, referring to a single hour. Since the question is asking for the correct way to say "It is one o'clock," the plural form "Son las" is the appropriate choice.

___ Una y media. What goes in the blank?
- A.
  
  Es la
- B.
  
  Son las
Correct Answer
A. Es la

Explanation
The correct answer is "Es la" because "Una y media" refers to a singular time, specifically 1:30. In Spanish, when telling the time for a singular hour, we use the phrase "Es la" followed by the hour. So, "Es la" is the appropriate phrase to complete the sentence.
