Hi, why is it 'esto es' and not 'eso es', as it  is translated as 'that is'?

Thank you,

Hello,

En él puedes percibir 

I assume this translates to 'In it you can perceive'. I did not know that 'él' can be use for 'it'.

Thanks

I incorrectly answered "para" because there was a specific time of day in the sentence.  I am thinking that was not correct if this translates (loosely) as "sometime in the morning I eat breakfast at 9am".  So a/en/por would be correct for this?

Es Paraguay una pais pobre, o una pais rica?

quien son personas famosos de Paraguay?

Como estan los cuidades en Paraguay?

como son los calles y casas en Paraguay?

Another explanation I have seen tells that when the pronoun is part of a phrase within brackets we should be using el que etc rather than just que.  I have fed  the sentence into the respected SpanishChecker with both alternatives and neither was identified as wrong.

Does “¿Dónde estarán?” mean both “where will they be?” and “where might they be?” ?

I would think there would be different ways to express the two different meanings in Spanish.

 Here the newspaper is sold cheaply.

I realize "barato" can work as an adjective or an adverb, but given its placement within the sentence used in the example, this reads to me like "The cheap newspaper is sold here," as if the expensive newspaper is sold across the street—they probably charge you just to look at the headlines!
