    17. How would you translate " Back in 1848"? Is there any other meaning of "back" that you know?

    "Back in 1848" could translated as "Allá por 1864". Back can also mean "de vuelta" (returning), "retroceder" (move backward), "reverso" (reverse side), or "espalda" (Body: spine).

    Hi Arantxa, I hope you're fine.
    My mark is 18/20.

    Question 18. What's the meaning of "more or less"? Can you use it in a sentence that is true for you?
    More or less means "más o menos" un spanish. It's a expresion to comunicate that you're half agree with something, half did something...
    For example:
    +Do you understand the lesson?
    - More or less
    You mean you understand some of the lesson but still don't get the whole of it. You can also say "kind of" un some cases

    Hi Arantxa, here's my mark: 20/20 (although I'm not sure about one, because the answer still means the same but I didn't write the same).

    6. What translation has traditionally been given to the term " Gold Rush" in Spanish? What would be the literal translation of it?

    In Spanish we called it "Fiebre del Oro", but the literal translation is "Carrera del Oro" or "Carrera por el Oro".

    16 / 20 haré la peregunta ¿Cómo traducirías "Allá en 1848"? ¿Hay algún otro significado de "atrás" que conozcas? Lo traduciría como back in 1848 y otra función se me ocurre draw back que significaría retirada o retirarse , perdón por tardar en mandar , pero la página no me cargaba y no tuve datos móviles hasta hoy

      No te preocupes, Ale.
      Pero la pregunta era en inglés para dar la traducción en español.
