Answer 1

Question 1

The cronistas of the New World were chroniclers, typically Spanish explorers and conquistadors, who documented their experiences, observations, and encounters during the colonization of the Americas. They played a crucial role in shaping the European perception of the New World. By producing detailed accounts of Indigenous cultures, geography, and resources, cronistas like Bernal Díaz del Castillo and fray Bartolomé de las Casas influenced European knowledge and attitudes towards the Americas. Their writings contributed to the historical record and provided foundational narratives that justified exploration and colonization. (Refer to Lesson 3, Page 45 of the course for further details on the impact of cronistas.)

Question 2

Mi quehacer favorito es lavar los platos.

No me gusta limpiar el baño.

Question 3

1. Mi casa está cerca del supermercado.

2. Mi casa está lejos del parque.

Question 4

Aguadulce, a coastal town in Panama, has developed its economy primarily through the fishing and agriculture industries. Fishing became a leading industry due to the town’s strategic location along the Pacific coast, providing access to rich marine resources. Agriculture, particularly the cultivation of crops like rice and plantains, developed because of the fertile soil and favorable climate in the region. These industries have created jobs and sustained the local economy. (Refer to Lesson 7, Page 112 for more information about Aguadulce's economic development.)
