Explanation:

Question 1

Cognates are words in different languages that look and sound similar and have the same meaning. Option a describes words that sound the same (not necessarily look or mean same), option c is translated words (not about look/sound similarity). So the correct answer is the one about words with same look, sound, and meaning.

A perfect cognate is a word that looks the same and has the same meaning in two languages. "Animal" in Spanish and English is a perfect cognate. Option a is too general, option c is incorrect (words have vowels), option d is false cognate. So option b (A cognate that looks the same and has same meaning) is correct.

"Embarazada" in Spanish means "pregnant", not "embarrassed" in English. So it's a false cognate (looks similar but different meaning). Option a is incorrect, option b is false cognate (matches), option c is perfect cognate (incorrect), option d is general. So option b is correct.

Answer:

a. Words that sound the same (Note: Correct option should be the one with "look and sound very similar and mean the same", likely a formatting error in options, but based on cognate definition, the option describing words with same look, sound, and meaning is correct. If options are as given, and assuming a typo, the intended correct option for question 1 about cognates (words with same form, sound, meaning across languages) would be the one matching that description, likely the option with "look and sound very similar and mean the same" which may be mislabeled, but following the test's context, the correct option for question 1 is the one defining cognates as words with same look, sound, and meaning.)
