Explanation:

To solve these true/false questions, we would typically refer to the content of the video (since it's a "before watching the video" activity, perhaps the video provides the context, or the family tree and prior knowledge of Spanish family relationships and the story context). However, assuming this is a typical Spanish lesson video activity (like from a textbook series like Avancemos), here are the common answers based on standard activities:

1. Angélica hace un video de la fiesta de su hermano.

If the video shows Angélica making a video of her brother’s party (e.g., Cristina’s brother? Wait, Cristina is the one with the party. Wait, maybe the context: if Angélica is Cristina’s sister, and the party is Cristina’s, then “hermano” would be wrong. But if the video says Angélica’s brother (e.g., Gabriel) has a party, but the activity says Cristina’s party. Wait, maybe the correct answer is falso (but depends on video). But in standard activities, often this is falso.

2. El papá de Cristina saca fotos de la fiesta.

If the video shows Cristina’s dad taking photos, then cierto; else falso. In standard activities, this is often cierto.

3. A Gabriel le gustan los deportes.

In typical lessons, Gabriel likes sports, so cierto.

4. El perro de Cristina se llama Piñata.

If the dog’s name is Capitán (common in such activities) and not Piñata, then falso.

5. La abuela de Cristina decora la fiesta con papel picado.

If the grandma (abuela) decorates with papel picado, then cierto (common in cultural context of Mexican parties, papel picado is traditional).

6. Capitán es muy sociable, le encanta estar con la familia.

If the video describes Capitán (the dog) as sociable, then cierto.

7. Carolina es la hermana de Gabriel y Angélica.

From the family tree, if Carolina is a sibling to Gabriel and Angélica, then cierto (depends on tree; in typical trees, yes).

8. Ricardo es el abuelo de Esteban.

From the family tree: Ricardo is in the same generation as Cristina’s parents? Wait, Ricardo is labeled. If Esteban is Ricardo’s grandson, then cierto? Wait, no—Ricardo’s position: in the tree, Ricardo is a cousin or uncle? Wait, the tree has Ricardo in the lower right, with parents above. If Esteban is Ricardo’s child’s child, then abuelo (grandfather). But maybe falso. Wait, in typical activities, this is falso.

But since this is based on a specific video (not provided here), the answers rely on the video’s content. However, using common textbook activity answers (e.g., Avancemos Capítulo 5A Video Activities):

1. Falso
2. Cierto
3. Cierto
4. Falso
5. Cierto
6. Cierto
7. Cierto
8. Falso

These answers are based on typical Spanish language learning video activities (e.g., Avancemos series) and cultural context (e.g., papel picado, family relationships). Each statement is evaluated against common lesson content and storylines.

Answer:

1. Falso
2. Cierto
3. Cierto
4. Falso
5. Cierto
6. Cierto
7. Cierto
8. Falso
