      Molto

    • D.

      Intelligenti

  • 2. 

    Roberta _____ simpaticissima.

    • A.

      Molto

    • D.

      La

    Correct Answer
    B. E`
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "e`". In Italian, the verb "essere" is used to indicate a state of being or to describe someone or something. In this sentence, "e`" is the correct form of the verb "essere" conjugated for the third person singular (he/she/it is). Therefore, the sentence translates to "Roberta is very nice."

    • C.

      Spiritosa

    • D.

      Intelligenti

    Correct Answer
    D. Intelligenti
    Explanation
    Intelligente is an -e adjective, so in the plural (ie. for more than one person), it changes to intelligenti, regardless of the gender (ie. doesn't matter if they are all girls or all boys).

      Simpaticissima

    • D.

      Antipatico

    Correct Answer
    A. Severa
    Explanation
    Remember that you can't use molto AND and _issimo adjective together. It would be like saying someone is "very extra".

    • A.

      Spiritosa -estroversa

    • B.

      Spiritosissimo - estroversa

    • C.

      Spiritosi - estroverse

    • D.

      Spiritoso - estroversa

    Correct Answer
    D. Spiritoso - estroversa
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "spiritoso - estroversa". In Italian, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "papa`" (dad) is a masculine singular noun, the adjective "spiritoso" (funny) must also be masculine and singular. On the other hand, "mamma" (mom) is a feminine singular noun, so the adjective "estroversa" (outgoing) must be feminine and singular.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    _________ sono simpatici.

    • A.

      I miei professori

    • B.

      Le mie amiche

    • C.

      Io

    • D.

      Mio padre ed io

    Correct Answer
    A. I miei professori
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "i miei professori." This is because the phrase "sono simpatici" means "they are nice" or "they are likable," and the subject of the sentence is "i miei professori," which translates to "my professors." Therefore, the sentence is saying "my professors are nice."

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    ___ considero una ragazza responsabile.

    • A.

      Lo

    • B.

      Mi

    • C.

      Io

    • D.

      I miei professori

    Correct Answer
    B. Mi
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Mi" because it is the correct pronoun to use when referring to oneself in the first person singular form. In this sentence, the speaker is stating that they consider themselves a responsible girl.

    Rate this question:

      Considerano

      Ritengo

    • C.

      E`

    • D.

      Sono

    Correct Answer
    B. Ritengo
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ritengo" because it is the only option that fits grammatically in the sentence. "Ritengo" is the first person singular of the verb "ritenere" which means "to consider" or "to believe." Therefore, the sentence can be translated as "I consider her a competent professor."

    Rate this question:

      La

    • D.

      Piuttosto

    Correct Answer
    D. Piuttosto
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "piuttosto" because it means "rather" or "quite" in Italian. In this sentence, it is used to express that the speaker is "rather lazy" when they are tired.

      Ragazza

      Molto

    • D.

      La

    Correct Answer
    B. Ragazza
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ragazza" because the sentence indicates that the speaker's friends consider them to be a sincere and reliable person. Since "ragazza" means "girl" in Italian, it is the appropriate word to use in this context.
