Hello, @gabriela. I had difficulty giving you an upvote. I'm not sure what happened, but I tried numerous times, but when I clicked the green arrow, nothing happened. I've given up trying.
In your next Vocab Practice, leave me a short memo at the bottom, just saying something like "Remember the failed Upvote?" I'll add the value onto the next one ... if possible!!

Cheers.
