Show Answer Key & Explanations
Step-by-step solution for: Reading comprehension online exercise for A1
Let’s go step by step to answer each question based on the text.
---
Question 1: ¿Dónde vive Daniel y su familia?
Look at the first sentence of the text:
> “Daniel vive con sus padres en Washington.”
That means Daniel and his family live in Washington.
✔ Answer: En Washington.
---
Question 2: ¿Cuántos hermanos tiene Daniel?
The text says:
> “Él tiene dos hermanos y una hermana.”
“Hermanos” here refers to brothers (male siblings). He has two brothers and one sister. The question asks specifically for “hermanos” — which in Spanish usually means male siblings unless context says otherwise. But sometimes “hermanos” can mean siblings total. Let’s check carefully.
In Spanish, when you say “tiene dos hermanos y una hermana”, it clearly separates them:
- 2 hermanos = 2 brothers
- 1 hermana = 1 sister
So if the question is “¿Cuántos hermanos tiene Daniel?” — it’s asking how many brothers he has → that’s 2.
But wait — let’s double-check if the question might be using “hermanos” as “siblings”. In some contexts, yes — but here, since the text distinguishes between “hermanos” and “hermana”, we should stick to the literal meaning.
However, looking again at the question:
> “¿Cuántos hermanos tiene Daniel?”
In everyday Spanish, this often means “how many siblings does he have?” — especially in school worksheets. Let’s see what the text says total:
He has:
- 2 hermanos (brothers)
- 1 hermana (sister)
Total siblings = 3
But the word used is “hermanos” — plural of “hermano” (brother). So strictly speaking, it’s 2.
Wait — let’s look at the next part of the text:
> “Sus hermanos estudian en el colegio Bunker...”
Here, “sus hermanos” likely includes both brothers and possibly the sister? No — because later it says:
> “y su hermana baila en el grupo de la escuela.”
So they are treated separately.
Also, in the paragraph:
> “Daniel y sus hermanos viven con sus padres.” — again, “hermanos” probably refers to the two brothers, since the sister is mentioned separately.
BUT — in common usage in Spanish homework, “¿cuántos hermanos tienes?” often means “how many siblings do you have?” including sisters.
This is ambiguous. Let’s check the exact wording in the text again:
Original:
> “Él tiene dos hermanos y una hermana.”
If the question was “¿cuántos hermanos y hermanas tiene?” — then 3.
But it’s only “hermanos”.
In many educational contexts, especially at elementary level, “hermanos” in questions like this may include all siblings. However, given that the text explicitly separates “hermanos” and “hermana”, I think the safe answer is 2 — meaning brothers.
Wait — let me think like a student. If I read: “Daniel tiene dos hermanos y una hermana” — and someone asks “¿cuántos hermanos tiene?” — I’d probably say 2, because “hermanos” = brothers.
But let’s see the third question — it will help clarify.
---
Question 3: ¿Cómo se llaman los hermanos de Daniel?
The text never gives names for Daniel’s brothers or sister! It only says:
> “Sus hermanos estudian en el colegio Bunker...”
> “su hermana estudia en el colegio elemental King.”
> “Sus padres son la señora y el señor Smith.”
No names are given for the children — only the parents’ last name: Smith.
So — there is no information about the names of Daniel’s brothers.
Therefore, the correct answer is: No se menciona en el texto. or El texto no dice sus nombres.
But since this is a worksheet, maybe they expect us to realize that — or perhaps it’s a trick question.
Looking back — the text says nothing about the first names of the brothers or sister. Only that Daniel lives with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Smith — so their last name is Smith, but first names? Not given.
So for Question 3: We cannot answer with specific names — because they are not provided.
Now, going back to Question 2 — if the worksheet expects “how many siblings”, it would be 3. But the word is “hermanos”.
Let me check standard interpretation.
In Spanish, “hermanos” can mean:
- Brothers (only males)
- Siblings (males and females) — depending on context
In this case, since the text says “dos hermanos y una hermana”, it’s clear they are distinguishing gender.
Moreover, in the same text:
> “Daniel y sus hermanos visitan a sus abuelos...” — here “hermanos” likely includes the sister too? Or not?
Actually, in Spanish, when you say “mis hermanos” it can include sisters — it’s inclusive. For example, “Tengo tres hermanos” could mean 3 siblings regardless of gender.
This is confusing.
Let me look for clues.
Later:
> “Daniel y sus hermanos viven con sus padres.” — if “hermanos” included the sister, why mention her separately earlier?
Actually, in the first sentence:
> “Él tiene dos hermanos y una hermana.” — this is explicit.
Then:
> “Sus hermanos estudian en el colegio Bunker” — probably referring to the two brothers, since the sister is in elementary school King — different school.
Similarly:
> “su hermana baila en el grupo de la escuela.” — separate activity.
So “sus hermanos” in those sentences likely refers to the two brothers.
Therefore, for Question 2: “¿Cuántos hermanos tiene Daniel?” — answer is 2 (the two brothers).
For Question 3: Since no names are given, we must say the text doesn’t provide them.
But let’s confirm — is there any hidden clue?
Parents are Mr. and Mrs. Smith — so children’s last name is Smith — but first names? Not mentioned.
So final answers:
1. En Washington.
2. Dos (2) — meaning two brothers.
3. El texto no menciona los nombres de los hermanos de Daniel.
But for a school worksheet, they might expect simple answers.
Perhaps for Q2, they want total siblings? Let’s see the image — it shows three kids from behind — which matches: Daniel + 2 brothers + 1 sister? Wait, no — the picture has three children — but Daniel is one of them, plus two others? That would be 3 total children — but text says Daniel has 2 brothers and 1 sister — so 4 children total? Contradiction?
Wait — important!
Text: “Daniel vive con sus padres... Él tiene dos hermanos y una hermana.”
So Daniel + 2 brothers + 1 sister = 4 children.
But the image shows only 3 children sitting together.
That suggests the image is illustrative, not literal — so we ignore the image count.
Back to questions.
I think for accuracy:
Q1: Washington
Q2: 2 (if "hermanos" means brothers) OR 3 (if "hermanos" means siblings)
Given that in Spanish education, especially at this level, “¿cuántos hermanos tienes?” often means “how many siblings”, and since the text says “dos hermanos y una hermana”, totaling 3 siblings besides himself? No — he has 3 siblings: 2 brothers + 1 sister.
Daniel himself is not counted in “tiene dos hermanos” — “he has two brothers” — so total siblings = 3.
And “hermanos” in the question might be intended as “siblings”.
To resolve this, let’s look at the verb agreement or context.
In the text: “Sus hermanos cantan en un grupo de música” — if “hermanos” included the sister, but she dances — different activity — so likely “hermanos” here means the two brothers.
Similarly, “Daniel y sus hermanos visitan a sus abuelos” — probably includes all, but still ambiguous.
I recall that in many such worksheets, when they say “tiene X hermanos y Y hermanas”, and ask “¿cuántos hermanos tiene?”, they mean the number of brothers.
But to be safe, let's see what makes sense for a student.
Perhaps the expected answer for Q2 is 3 — total siblings.
Let me search my knowledge: In Spanish, the word "hermanos" can be used generically for siblings. For example, "¿Tienes hermanos?" means "Do you have any siblings?"
So in that case, "¿Cuántos hermanos tiene Daniel?" would mean "How many siblings does Daniel have?" — which is 3 (2 brothers + 1 sister).
Yes, that makes more sense for a general question.
In fact, if they wanted only brothers, they might say "¿cuántos hermanos varones?" or something.
So I'll go with 3 for Q2.
For Q3, definitely no names given.
So final decision:
Q1: En Washington.
Q2: Tres (3) — because "hermanos" in the question likely means siblings.
Q3: El texto no dice los nombres de los hermanos de Daniel.
But let's write it simply.
Final Answer:
¿Dónde vive Daniel y su familia?
En Washington.
¿Cuántos hermanos tiene Daniel?
Tiene tres hermanos (dos hermanos y una hermana).
¿Cómo se llaman los hermanos de Daniel?
El texto no menciona los nombres de los hermanos de Daniel.
But for brevity in worksheet style:
Final Answer:
En Washington.
Tres.
El texto no dice sus nombres.
Or to match the format:
Since the user didn't specify ExplainAnswer etc., and per rules, I should just give Final Answer after reasoning.
But in the response format, if options are false, omit sections, and only give Final Answer at the end.
So I'll box the answers.
