You have switched two answers.

Translation for number 1 is missing the demonstrative pronoun.
When you figure out which two answers are switched, you'll have to retranslate them.

Please you check the two sentences that I highlighted in your homework because exist mistakes in it, if you can switch for other the phrase then it will be better.

I can see that you have switched the sentences, then I don't believe that it were a great idea, I believe that you must correct them instead of switch them.

[Rusty]

All correct, now. Good job!

thanks

[Jessica]

oh wait, I just realized....should "clase de música" be "type of music"?

[Rusty]

Clase de música can mean both music class and type of music. The only way to discern the difference is by context. The sample sentence didn't provide enough context, so either translation is correct.

Mention that to your teacher to see if you get extra points!

[Jessica]

Well I think it's type of music because this is all happening at a party.

¡Tienes razón! El contexto se encuentra en las oraciones que la rodean. ¡Bien hecho!

You changed the sentences of other ones.

[Jessica]

Another thing, when we were going over this in class, I realized something...is this what you mean Crotalito?

1. --¡El ambiente de esta fiesta es muy aburrido!
2. --Los invitados no están comiendo. ¿Por qué?
3. --Creo que no les gusta la comida. Ellos no están baliando tampoco.
4. --Voy a escoger otra clase de música.
5. --Sí, por favor, porque yo quiero pasarlo bien.


In English
1. This party's atmosphere is very boring!
2. The guests are not eating. Why? Sra. said it would be comiendo because estar is used.
3. I think they don't like the food. They are not dancing either. Why would you use "comiendo"? Doesn't make sense in this sentence.....:P
4. I am going to choose another type of music.
5. Yes, please, because I love to have a good time. (Changed this a bit)

[CrOtALiTo]

Yes.

[Jessica]

you were right I didn't realize that until we went over it. thanks for noticing
