Question

which of the following words are false cognates? simpático / sympathy el animal / the animal la actividad / the activity

Explanation:

False cognates are words that look similar across languages but have different meanings. "Simpático" in Spanish means "nice" or "likeable", while "Sympathy" in English means feeling compassion. "El animal" (Spanish) and "The animal" (English) have the same meaning, as do "La actividad" (Spanish) and "The activity" (English), so they are true cognates.

Answer:

A. Simpático / Sympathy
