Answer 2

The correct answer is D. 8:30

Step-by-step explanation:

The paragraph presented explains the activities of Elena during the day, including the classes she has that day. One of the first activities in this journal is "Primero, tengo biología a las ocho y media"; in this excerpt, Elena explains she has biology class which is "biología" in Spanish "a las ocho y media" that in English is equivalent to 8:30 or eight-thirty. This can be explained because the word "ocho" in Spanish is equivalent to "eight in English", also the word "media" that English means "half" is used in Spanish to express half past the hour. For example, in Spanish "a las una y media" means "at half-past one". According to this, it can be concluded Elena's biology class is at 8:30.
