Question

choose the correct option to complete the sentence correctly.
doña lucía había ________ varios aperitivos para la fiesta de cumpleaños. ella empezó a hacerlos varias horas antes. todos estaban deliciosos.

comprado
preparado
alquilado
solicitado

Explanation:

Analyze the sentence context

The sentence states: "Doña Lucía había _________ varios aperitivos para la fiesta de cumpleaños. Ella empezó a hacerlos varias horas antes."
This translates to: "Doña Lucía had _________ several appetizers for the birthday party. She started to make them several hours before."
Using Context Clues and Reading Comprehension, we see she "started to make them" (empezó a hacerlos).

Evaluate the vocabulary options

We need a past participle that fits the context of making appetizers:

• comprado means "bought".
• preparado means "prepared" or "made".
• alquilado means "rented".
• solicitado means "requested".

Using Spanish Vocabulary, the verb preparar (to prepare/make) directly matches the action of making (hacerlos) the appetizers.

Select the correct option

Since she made them herself, "preparado" is the logically correct choice.

Answer:

• comprado
• preparado (Correct answer)
• alquilado
• solicitado
