Answer 1

To identify how reflexive verbs differ from non-reflexive verbs, the correct responses are:

1. **Reflexive verbs indicate that the subject (the "do-er" of the action) is also the "receiver" of the action.** - This is a key characteristic of reflexive verbs. The subject performs the action on itself.

2. **Reflexive verbs include a reflexive pronoun which must agree with the subject.** - Reflexive verbs are used with reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nos, os), which must match the subject in person and number.

The following statements are incorrect:

- **Reflexive verbs always have a stem-change that occurs in the yo, tú, él/ella/usted, and ellos/ellas/ustedes forms.** - Not all reflexive verbs undergo stem changes. Stem changes are based on the verb itself, not on whether it is reflexive or not.

- **Reflexive pronouns always come after the conjugated verb.** - Reflexive pronouns typically precede the conjugated verb in standard sentence structure (e.g. "Me levanto" - "I get up"). They can also be placed after an infinitive or gerund.

So, the correct responses are the first and fourth statements:
- Reflexive verbs indicate that the subject is also the receiver of the action.
- Reflexive verbs include a reflexive pronoun which must agree with the subject.
