Learn the idea
A short exchange works when the reply addresses the actual question and respects the situation. Use the fictional identities given here; nobody needs to disclose a real name, location or age. ¿De dónde eres? asks where a person is from. Soy de plus a place states the speaker’s origin; estoy en identifies current location, which can be different.
Read the given origin and current location separately. Choose Soy de with the origin when the question asks de dónde eres. Do not let the currently occupied room or city replace the supplied origin.

- Apply the shown language rule; keep any required ending, accent or paired punctuation.
- Solve the changed independent check, then explain why one offered alternative fails.
