Step-by-step solution for: carnival-worksheet-questions
Here are the solutions to the worksheet tasks based on general knowledge about Carnival traditions around the world.
Task 1: Look for the countries of the most famous carnivals in the world and colour them.
The instructions at the bottom of the map section tell you exactly which countries to colour and which colour to use:
* USA: Find the United States on the map (North America) and colour it Green. (Note: New Orleans is in the USA and has a famous carnival).
* Brazil: Find Brazil on the map (South America) and colour it Blue. (Rio de Janeiro is in Brazil and has one of the most famous carnivals).
* Italy: Find Italy on the map (Europe - shaped like a boot) and colour it Purple. (Venice is in Italy and has a famous carnival).
Task 2: Are the following statements true or false?
* a. In Carnival, people celebrate the “trick or treat” tradition.
* *Reasoning:* "Trick or treat" is a tradition associated with Halloween (October 31st). Carnival is a festival usually held in February or March before Lent.
* *Answer:* False
* b. Venice carnival is more calm than Rio carnival.
* *Reasoning:* The Rio carnival is famous for loud samba parades, huge crowds, and dancing in the streets. The Venice carnival is known for elegant, quiet masks and historical costumes. Therefore, Venice is calmer.
* *Answer:* True
* c. In Rio, samba contests are very famous.
* *Reasoning:* The Rio Carnival is world-famous for the Samba School parades where different schools compete against each other.
* *Answer:* True
* d. One venice tradition is to buy masks in the supermarket.
* *Reasoning:* In Venice, masks are considered art. People buy beautiful, handcrafted masks from special artisan shops, not mass-produced ones from a supermarket.
* *Answer:* False
* e. New Orleans carnival is known as “Fat Wednesday”.
* *Reasoning:* The final day of the Carnival season is called "Fat Tuesday" (Mardi Gras). Wednesday is the start of Lent (Ash Wednesday), which is a quiet time, not a carnival celebration.
* *Answer:* False
Task 3: Now describe your local carnival.
* *Reasoning:* This part of the worksheet asks for your personal opinion and local knowledge. Since I am an AI, I cannot know where you live. You should write a short paragraph about the carnival in your city or country. Mention what people wear (costumes) and what they do (parades, music, food).
