Question

Choose the correct answer to the following question. Note the cue in
parentheses.
¿Qué hora es? (6:35)

A. Son las siete y veinticinco
B. Son las seis menos veinticinco
C. Son las seite menos veinticinco
D. Son las seis y veinticinco

Answer 1

The answer is D. But “veinticinco” means twenty-five but the hour is thirty-five which is “treinta y cinco”

Answer 2

Isn’t it actually C, which says that it is 7 minus 25, because D says that it is 6:25?
7 minus 25 is 6:35, so C should be correct
