Explanation:

Analyze the dialogue context

Using the Spanish Dialogue Completion knowledge point, we examine the sentence containing the blank marked with an asterisk (*):
"ESTELA: Es muy grande. Hay una ____* y un gimnasio en el edificio (building)."

Evaluate the grammatical gender

Using the Spanish Housing Vocabulary knowledge point, we identify that the blank is preceded by the feminine singular indefinite article "una". Therefore, the correct noun must be feminine.

• "universidad" (feminine)
• "piscina" (feminine)
• "facultad" (feminine)

All three options are grammatically feminine, so we must determine the correct word based on semantic context.

Evaluate semantic fit

Using the Spanish Housing Vocabulary knowledge point, we analyze which amenity fits naturally in a residential building alongside "un gimnasio" (a gym):

• "universidad" (university) - A university is not typically located inside a residential apartment building.
• "piscina" (swimming pool) - A swimming pool is a common amenity in an apartment building, matching "gimnasio".
• "facultad" (department/faculty) - A university faculty is not an amenity inside a residential building.

Therefore, "piscina" is the most logical and contextually appropriate choice.

Answer:

• universidad
• piscina (Correct answer)
• facultad
