Spanish Difficult Review Quiz - Vocabulary - What's My Line? (Questions)

Many years ago there used to be a television series called What’s My Line. In the show a panel of famous people were introduced to a mystery guest. The panel had to see if they could determine what kind of work the mystery person did by asking the guest a series of questions. So, What’s My Line, or this Spanish Difficult Review quiz, will be about a person’s occupational career.

Both the Spanish Easy Review and the Spanish Medium Review quiz series contained occupational vocabulary quizzes so this will be just a continuation of those. Therefore, let’s take a look at adding the following occupations to your occupational vocabulary bank of words.
