Which of the following is a Python built-in exception?

E. El presente perfecto: El mundo hoy. Your friend is coming back from studying abroad and he has been disconnected from the news. Update him on what’s happened lately. It can include yourself, your family, entertainment, campus, the city, the country, etc. Type four updates in what you think most important using the present perfect indicative, in the space provided. (1.5 pts. each: 0.5 pt. for correct conjugation of haber, 0.5 pt. for correct past participle, 0.5 pt. for logical response; 6 pts. total)   MODELO: (You read): Cuéntame ¿Qué ha pasado últimamente?   – Pues mira (let me tell you)…  (You type): el equipo de fútbol de OSU ha ganado el campeonato de fútbol universitario. Además…    1. [1] 2. [2] 3. [3] 4. [4]

C. Respuesta breve: Consideraciones culturales. First, consider the relevant sections of ¡Arriba! (Panoramas, Mi experiencia, and Club cultura) and classroom discussions from SPAN 1103. Then, select two countries studied (i.e., Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela) and identify two specific places, products, practices, or perspectives to discuss. Finally, type a brief response with a minimum of eight complete sentences, in Spanish, describing (1.) how each specific place, product, practice, or perspective has or continues to influence said country and (2.) how it is similar or different from your culture/community. Do not repeat information from previous exercises. (1 pt. for specifying each specific place, product, practice or perspective, 4 pts. for the influence/impact, 2 pts. for the comparison; 8 pts. total)  Products: musical instruments, literature, artwork, dances, etc. Practices: foods, drinks, festivals, traditions, gestures, etc. Place: important city center, landmark, museum, geographic location, etc. Perspectives: importance of traditional medicine, ecology, technology, etc. Note: In order to receive credit for this section, you must provide specific and detailed information that clearly supports your response. Vague or general answers will not receive credit. An example of a vague or general response would be, “En México hay muchas playas bonitas.” Lastly, it is strongly recommended to avoid phrases such as “everyone,” “no one,” “all Mexicans/Americans/Venezuelans,” etc. that could lead to the oversimplification of complex cultural phenomena and promote superficial stereotypes of cultural practices, products or perspectives.

B. El subjuntivo: Ideas para proteger el medio ambiente. Your sister is in a high school environment club, and the students are writing down things that could be done to protect the environment. Your sister is asking you to help her translate their requests so that all the families can understand. First, read each statement or question. Then, identify the verb that best completes the sentence. Lastly, conjugate the verb in the present subjunctive according to the subject. Type your response in the space provided. (2 pts. each: 1 pt. for correct verb choice, 1 pt. for correct conjugation; 8 pts. total)   MODELO: (You read): Necesitamos que un representante de la escuela [hacer / asistir / prohibir] (blank) a las reuniones de la comisión de medio ambiente de la ciudad.  (You type): asista    1. Queremos que más personas [llegar / reciclar / conocer] [blank1] en sus casas para proteger el medio ambiente. 2. Buscamos un programa que [salir / empezar / permitir] [blank2] a los estudiantes participar en la limpieza de playas. 3. No conocemos a nadie que [saber / dar / ser] [blank3] cómo reciclar correctamente todos los materiales. 4.

Tema: Una protesta formal. Your local political officials are trying to cut costs, and along the way, decide to significantly reduce the budget that the city puts towards environmental programs (recycling, energy efficiency, conservations programs, etc.). You write a letter to the mayor of your city to discuss your concerns with these policies, your worries/emotions/concerns about environmental causes, and recommendations for new ideas (if any) that you can suggest to further our city’s environmental protection efforts.         Algunas ideas para considerar:    Preocupaciones (worries/concerns) sobre la reducción de programas medioambientales  Preocupaciones (worries/concerns) sobre el medio ambiente en general   Posibles consecuencias si no actuamos para ayudar al medio ambiente  2-3 recomendaciones que para ayudar al medio ambiente  Cómo podemos usar la tecnología para ayudar al medio ambiente
