"Buenas días" is not a way to say goodbye, as it translates to "good morning."

Submit
16. How would you say, "My name is Peter."

The correct answer is "Me llamo Peter." In Spanish, to say "My name is," you use the phrase "Me llamo," which literally translates to "I call myself." Therefore, "Me llamo Peter" means "I call myself Peter," or more naturally, "My name is Peter."

Submit
17. In Spanish, the letter "c" makes a "th" sound when it is followed by either an e or i.

Explanation

In Spanish, the letter "c" makes a "th" sound when it is followed by either an "e" or "i". This is known as the "ceceo" pronunciation rule. For example, the word "cena" is pronounced as "thay-na" and "cita" is pronounced as "thee-ta". This is different from the English pronunciation of "c", where it typically makes a hard "k" sound.

Submit
18. In Spanish, the letter "g" makes a soft "h" sound when it is followed by an a, o, or u. 

Explanation

In Spanish, the letter "g" makes a soft "h" sound when it is followed by an e or i, not by an a, o, or u.

Submit

Explanation

The given answer is correct because all of the phrases listed can be used as a way to say "How are you?" or "What's up?" in Spanish. "¿Cómo estás?" directly translates to "How are you?" and is a common way to greet someone. "¿Qué tal?" is another common way to ask "How are you?" or "What's up?" "¿Qué pasa?" translates to "What's happening?" and can also be used to ask "What's up?" "¿Qué onda?" is a more casual way to ask "What's up?" or "How are you?"

Submit
