Answer 1

The sentence "Compro la gasolina en la estación de servicio." can be changed by substituting "la gasolina" with the direct object pronoun "la". The revised sentence would be:

"La compro en la estación de servicio."

In this case, I used the pronoun "la" because "la gasolina" is a feminine singular noun. In Spanish, direct object pronouns must agree in gender and number with the nouns they replace. Since "gasolina" is feminine and singular, we use "la" as the direct object pronoun.
