Question 30
Domain 1: English Language ProficiencyThe assailant was described as wearing chinos and a plaid shirt.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
"Plaid" refers to a tartan or checkered pattern, which in Spanish is commonly rendered as "escocesa." The description "wearing chinos and a plaid shirt" identifies the shirt by its tartan-style pattern, so "escocesa" matches that meaning.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. listada
“Listada” means striped, not checked or tartan-patterned.
B. escocesa
"Plaid" in clothing descriptions denotes a checked or tartan pattern, and in Spanish that pattern is commonly expressed as "escocesa." In the sentence, the assailant’s shirt is being identified by its pattern rather than by fabric or cut, so the correct rendering is the adjective for a tartan/checkered shirt.
C. vaquera
“Vaquera” means denim or cowboy-style, describing fabric or style, not plaid pattern.
D. punteada
“Punteada” means dotted or spotted, not a crisscross check pattern.
