Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: left

The word for right is "derecha" and the word for straight is "derecho". This may lead to some confusion if the author has sloppy handwriting.

2. If you followed the directions that your friend had described earlier about turning "izquierda", you would probably turn on the ____________.

Answer: intermitente

"Intermitente" means the directional/turn signal. "Luz" is a light so you would be turning on a light. A "cuaderno" is a notebook and you really can't turn one of those, either. And "doblar" is simply the verb meaning to turn.

Answer: limpiaparabrisas

You probably wouldn't find a "sombrilla" switch in your car since a "sombrilla" is an umbrella. An "impermeable" is a rain coat, and a "hoja de agua" is a water blade which, to my knowledge, does not exist.

Answer: frenos

"Frenos" is Spanish for car brakes. All other answers refer to things you apply or put on the body. "Zapatos" are shoes, "maquillaje" is make-up, and "guantes" are gloves. Hopefully you would not be applying make-up while driving down a curvy road or driving anywhere for that matter.

Answer: capo

"Capo" is the Spanish word for hood. This word is mostly used in Spain. All other answers were very obscure. A dent in the "cabeza" would be a dent in your head. A "chicharron" is a pork rind and I don't think you can take one of those to an autobody shop for repair. And it is kind of hard to dent a kitchen ("cocina" in Spanish).

Answer: llanta

"Llanta" is the Spanish word for tire. You can find a "cama" in most bedrooms since it's a bed, and "vaso" means a glass. "Ropa" is Spanish for clothing.

7. You realize that you must now find a "llanta de repuesto". What exactly are you looking for?

Answer: spare tire

You need to change your tire if you ever want to make it to the soccer game, so you look for your spare tire, or "llanta de repuesto". You may also want to look for a jack and possibly a ride to the game if you are desperate. However, the only reason for you to need a chia pet is if you are really bored.

8. Despite the fact that you are not sure where your spare tire is, or if you even have one, you start by looking for it in your ________.

Answer: maletero

Both "maleta" and "maletero" refer to luggage: "maleta" is typically a suitcase and the "maletero" is a trunk, but it can also mean the person responsible for handling baggage at a train station. "Boleto" is the Spanish word for ticket and "piscina" is a pool. If your spare tire is in a pool... well, good luck with your search! :)

Answer: claxon

You blare your "claxon" (horn) to get the animal to move out of your way. Coincidentally, the other possible answers were, for the most part, incorrectly spelled brass instruments with the exception of "tuba", which is spelled correctly.

Answer: city, traffic lights

"Ciudad" means city and "semaforos" is traffic lights. Any individual that has a day like this one, should probably seek some mental help, or at least stay off the road for a while :).
