Explanation:

Analyze the sentence structure

The sentence is: "La tarea de la universidad es ________ el próximo lunes."
This translates to: "The university homework is ________ next Monday."
The blank requires a preposition indicating a deadline.

Compare the options

Using Spanish Vocabulary, we evaluate the two choices:

• "Por" is used for duration, cause, exchange, or means of transportation/communication.
• "Para" is used for destinations, recipients, purposes, and specific deadlines.

Determine the correct preposition

Since "el próximo lunes" (next Monday) is a specific deadline, "para" is the correct preposition.

Answer:

• por
• para (Correct answer)
