Hints for this Quiz

Think: are banks and offices open or closed on this kind of day?
In Spanish, the expression “hoy es fiesta” usually means it is an official holiday (festivo), not “a party.”
The place is “en casa” (at home). It’s not about the street or the office.
Here “hacer fiesta” means to throw/host a party at home. It is not an official holiday and it’s not about going out to bars.
Look at the second part of the sentence: “no hay clase.”
In this context “hacer fiesta” means to take the day off / not work / not study. The clue is “no hay clase” (there’s no class).
“Salir” + “de fiesta” is about nightlife, not staying at home.
“Salir de fiesta” means to go out partying / to go to bars and clubs.
Think: why are the banks closed — because of a party, or because it’s a public holiday?
Closed banks indicate an official holiday: “fiesta (día festivo)”.
The word “barrio” plus “last night” → a local event, not a national holiday.
Here “fiesta” refers to a party/celebration with people and music, not an official public holiday.
“Es fiesta” usually means “festivo” (public holiday).
“Es fiesta” means it’s an official holiday; the logical consequence is “we don’t work.”
Look for the clue “no vamos a la oficina.”
The first option describes “taking a day off / a day without work.” The others are about a party/going out.
