"Is it under the green elephant?"
Translation:Está debaixo do elefante verde?

Debaixo does not appear on my Words list- it must have slipped in there with restructuring. My understanding is that: "debaixo de" means under with something on top of it (e.g. if the elephant is laying on it) "embaixo de" means under without something on top (e.g. under a standing elephant) They aren't interchangeable but given no context I think both should be accepted.
In this lesson, "Está embaixo do elefante verde?" is the text given to translate TO English, AND "Está debaixo do elefante verde?" is given as the correct translation FROM English. SMH.
Yes. If the elefante is unable to move (a statue, for example), é also works. if the thing under the elephant is also unable to move (a mole,for example) you can use é too
