40. You are talking about Luisa and Mario, so you are looking for the word “they.” The word nos is the same as nosotros, which means “us,” or “we.” So I believe the correct choice in this sentence is “a,” since “les” is they. So they are fascinated with science fiction movies.

41. Look at the word “tenemos”--the first sentence says “We are tired.” So you need to look at which word means “we.”--
les-they
me-me or I
le-him or her
the only one left is “nos” which means?

42. Is the concert going to be long or short? I think that it will be really short, only an hour and a half.
Pienso means “I think”; que means “that”--together= “I think that”

Pienso=I think; creer= to think or ponder; putting them together makes no sense

the correct answer is choice “a”

44. This does make sense.
translations:
a) Still (no debo= I shouldn’t)
b) at eight o’clock
c) punctually
d) of course

So the sentence actually translates to “I don’t feel very well today. Still I shouldn’t stay in bed.”

45. Mario is 20 years old--viente anos. His best friend is 21 years old--veinteun anos. Mario is younger (menor) than his friend.

46. I believe that this one is “el peor” which means “the worst”--so the sentence would say “I have the worst car of all (or everyone). I need to buy a new one.”
This is the choice that makes most sense to me. But you might want to double check.

48. I think that the correct answer for this is “a”
I would double check this one too.

(I’m Puerto Rican--I’ve lived in Puerto Rico, but we don’t always speak properly as far as grammar goes-- so I’m not sure on the last two questions--number 46 and 48. Double check them).

40. Yes, A because you are neither of those 2 people!

42. The reason you need "que" is because it is a clause relater between the first clause "Pienso" and the rest of it.

44. Yes, it DOES make sense if you that "por eso" means "for that reason!:

45. C

46. Yes because "the" = "el" and "worst" is "peor."

48. Look at the verb (tense) that IS there: "¿has probado?" This is the Present Perfect tense (HAVE you TRIED) and you answer with the same tense = "He probado" = (I HAVE TRIED)

Otherwise, well done Elie!
