Re: this exercise in Climbing the Gorbea


It would be good to have a lesson included/referred for this hint:


as the largest in the area.

Kwizbot's answer:

como el de mayor extensión de toda la zona.

Your answer:

como el con la mayor extensión de toda la zona.

Here's the hint we gave you:

largest = mayor, area = zona. Lit: "as the one with the largest extension of the whole zone."

this also:

(in order to) reach the summit.

HINT: use "con tal de", to reach = llegar. 

Kwizbot's answer:

con tal de llegar a la cumbre.

Your answer:

con tal de llegar a la cima.


Wondering if "cima" would be acceptable? It was not shows as a "possible answer".  (in order to) reach the summit. I would imagine were it a type of “grammatical reference” it might not be acceptable, but this seems a possible synonym for “summit”.

Hola Nicole P.

Thanks for your feedback.

We've now added a lesson reference for the superlative structure used in como el de mayor extensión de toda la zona, which should help clarify this construction.

Regarding cumbre vs cima, both words can refer to a mountain summit, but in this exercise we have updated the hint to guide learners towards cumbre, which is the term used in the target answer.

Thanks again for helping us improve the exercise!

Saludos

Silvia
