Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. A festive social gathering centered on grilling beef and sausages over slow

Classic cuts include tira de asado (short ribs), vacío (flank), and bife de chorizo (sirloin strip). Answer: A festive social gathering centered on grilling beef and sausages over slow. Why not the others: It usually begins with achuras (offal like mollejas, chinchulines) and choripán.
