pick the correct one and tell me why its correct

Answer 1

The correct response is "comen; bebe."

Here's why it is correct:

1. Ustedes is the second person plural in Spanish (you all), and the verb form that matches this subject is "comen", which is the third person plural form of the verb "comer" (to eat) in the present tense.

2. Ana is a singular subject (she), and the appropriate verb form for "bebe," which is the third person singular form of the verb "beber" (to drink) in the present tense.

So, the complete sentences would be: "Ustedes comen arroz con pollo; Ana bebe jugo."

Answer 2

why isnt it the other options

Answer 3

Let's break down the other options to understand why they are incorrect:

1. "come; bebo":

   • "come" is the third person singular form of "comer" (he/she/it eats), which does not match the subject "Ustedes" (you all).
   • "bebo" is the first person singular form of "beber" (I drink), which does not match "Ana" (she).
   • Therefore, this option is incorrect because both verb forms do not agree with their respective subjects.

2. "comes; beben":

   • "comes" is the second person singular form of "comer" (you eat), which again does not match "Ustedes."
   • "beben" is the third person plural form of "beber" (they drink), which does not match "Ana" (she).
   • This option is incorrect for the same reasons: neither verb form agrees with its subject.

In summary, both incorrect options fail to match the subjects with the appropriate verb forms in terms of person and number. The correct option "comen; bebe" aligns perfectly with "Ustedes" (you all) and "Ana" (she).

Answer 5

The event that would likely occur during the United States’ independence celebration but would probably not occur during Chile’s is "a rodeo."

Here's the reasoning:

• A kite-flying contest: This is a common activity that can happen during various celebrations in both countries, so it is not exclusive to either.

• A fireworks display: Fireworks are a common feature of celebrations in both the United States (especially on Independence Day) and Chile (during their national celebrations). Hence, this also doesn't distinguish between the two.

• A rodeo: While rodeos are popular in the United States, especially in western states and during specific celebrations, they are less traditionally associated with Chile's independence celebrations. Chile does have its own traditional festivals, but rodeos are not a central feature of the independence festivities (September 18).

Therefore, "a rodeo" is the event that would most likely occur during the United States' independence celebration but not during Chile’s.
