because the singular form ends in a consonant

Answer 1

The correct reason why "carteles" is a correct plural spelling is because the singular form ends in a consonant.

"Cartel" is the singular form and ends in the consonant "l." In Spanish, when forming the plural of nouns that end in a consonant, you typically add "es," resulting in "carteles."
