Explanation:

Question 1

To determine Mariana's relationship to Frank, we analyze the family tree. Luis (Mariana's father) and Patricia (Mariana's mother) – Patricia is a sibling of Victor (Frank's father). So Mariana and Victor are cousins' parents? Wait, no: Luis and Patricia are married (the “+” between them) and have Mariana. Victor is Patricia's brother (since Don Gerardo and Doña Isadora are Victor's parents, same as Patricia's). Victor and Salma have Frank. So Mariana's mother (Patricia) and Frank's father (Victor) are siblings. Thus, Mariana and Frank are cousins? Wait, no – the question is “Mariana es la ____ de Frank”. Wait, let's re - trace:

• Don Gerardo + Doña Isadora have Patricia, Rosita, Victor.
• Luis (from Doña Lourdes + Don Francisco) + Patricia have Mariana.
• Victor + Salma have Frank.

So Patricia (Mariana's mother) and Victor (Frank's father) are siblings. So Mariana is the “prima” (female cousin) of Frank? Wait, no – the structure: Mariana's mother (Patricia) and Frank's father (Victor) are siblings. So Mariana and Frank are cousins. Since Mariana is female, the term is “prima” (in Spanish, “prima” is female cousin, “primo” is male cousin). Wait, but let's check the family tree again.

Wait, Luis is from Doña Lourdes + Don Francisco, Patricia is from Don Gerardo + Doña Isadora. Luis and Patricia are married (the horizontal line with the “+” and Mariana below). Then Victor is Patricia's brother (same parents as Patricia: Don Gerardo + Doña Isadora). Victor and Salma have Frank. So Mariana's mother (Patricia) and Frank's father (Victor) are siblings. So Mariana and Frank are cousins. So Mariana is the “prima” of Frank.

Alfonso and Fernando are both children of Doña Lourdes and Don Francisco (as seen from the family tree: Doña Lourdes + Don Francisco have Alfonso, Fernando, and Luis). So they are brothers (in Spanish, “hermanos”).

Answer:

prima
