Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Ap Spanish Language
Which adjective, when used in the blank, creates a logical and grammatically correct sentence?
Los platos están __________, pues hay que lavarlos.
sucios
rotos
sucio
sucias
sucios
The correct answer is "sucios" (dirty) because it agrees in number and gender with "los platos" and because it makes sense in context. The answer choice "rotos" (broken) wouldn't make sense because there's no reason to wash broken plates.
English translation: "The plates are dirty, so one must wash them."
Example Question #2 : Ap Spanish Language
Which adjective properly completes the sentence?
El dispositivo electrónico no está cargando; me parece que estar __________.
involucrado
calificado
roto
maltratado
roto
Based on context, only "roto," which means broken, would fit in this sentence. "Calificado" means qualified or proven, "maltratado" means mistreated or abused, and "involucrado" means involved (in something).
English translation: "The electronic device is not charging; it seems to me that it is broken."
Example Question #3 : Ap Spanish Language
Which adjective properly completes the sentence?
No tengo hermanos; soy un hijo _______.
primera
segundo
único
únicos
único
Both "único" (only) and "segundo" (second) agree in number and gender with "hijo;" however, only "único" (only) fits in context, as it would not make sense for someone to say that they are an "hijo segundo" (second child) if that person is claiming not to have any siblings.
English translation: "I do not have siblings; I am an only child."
