16. The Pan American Games are different from the Olympic Games in several ways. One difference is that the Pan American Games feature some sports that are unique, such as jai alai. Additionally, while the Olympic Games are celebrated every four years, the Pan American Games are celebrated every four years, but staggered by two years from the Olympics. In other words, they are celebrated every two years after the Olympic Games. Another difference is that the Pan American Games can be hosted by any country in the Americas, not just Cuba.

17. The theory that was developed based on observations made on the Galápagos Islands is natural selection. Charles Darwin visited the Galápagos Islands during his voyage on the HMS Beagle and made observations of the unique wildlife there. These observations played a crucial role in the development of Darwin's theory of natural selection, which forms the basis of modern evolutionary biology.

In Spanish, adjectives typically come after the noun they modify, but there are exceptions to this rule. Certain adjectives, including "perezoso" (lazy), typically come before the noun they describe. This placement emphasizes the characteristic being described.

To understand the rules and placement of adjectives in Spanish, you can consult grammar resources such as textbooks, online language learning platforms, or consult with a Spanish teacher or native speaker.

18. The best place to put the adjective "perezoso" in the sentence is number 4. The sentence would be: "Diego es un chico perezoso." This placement ensures that the adjective directly modifies the noun "chico" (boy).

For 16 I think you should just do some research on what the games are like then you can find out what's different. Just google Pan American and Olympic Games and look up information on Wikipedia for comparison.

The answer to 17 is the theory of natural selection. Darwin observed finches there and came up with the theory.
