17、nce something different in America, the city of Portland, Oregon is a great choice.With a population of 583,000, Portland is the 28th most populated in the nation.

32、sary.D. Possible.13. What is the example of Portuguese and Chinese used to prove?A. Chinese is harder to learn than Portuguese.B. Portuguese and Chinese are very different.C.
