Question
What does «emparejar» mean?
Answer
To match / pair up (a matching task).
Question
What does a matching task ask you to do?
Answer
Link each item in one set to its partner in another set.
Question
Name three common matching formats.
Answer
Personas↔opiniones, titulares↔párrafos, and the two halves of a sentence.
Question
How many times is each option used in matching?
Answer
Exactly once.
Question
What is «la opción sobrante»?
Answer
The extra (spare) option that matches nothing and is left over.
Question
What does «el titular» mean?
Answer
The headline / heading.
Question
What does «el párrafo» mean?
Answer
The paragraph.
Question
What does «la opinión» mean?
Answer
The opinion / view.
Question
Why is there usually one extra option in matching?
Answer
It's a distractor — a spare that matches nothing, to catch you out.
Question
Give the 5-step matching routine.
Answer
Read both lists → Do the sure ones first → Eliminate → Match the rest → Check none is reused and the spare is left over.
Question
Should you match in order, top to bottom?
Answer
No — do the matches you're sure of first; each one removes an option.
Question
Should you match because two items share one word?
Answer
No — match on the meaning of the whole statement, not a single shared word.
Question
What if you've used the same option for two items?
Answer
One of those matches is wrong — each option is used only once.
Question
Should you ever leave a matching question blank?
Answer
No — match every item, using elimination for the ones you're unsure of.
