Question

read the scenario and select the answer that completes the sentences.

marco: yo ________ la clase de matemáticas.
javier: tú necesitas ________ calculadora científica.

tengo, el
tiene, la
tiene, el
tengo, la

Explanation:

Analyze the first blank

The first sentence is: "Marco: Yo ________ la clase de matemáticas."
The subject pronoun is "Yo" (I).
We need to conjugate the verb tener (to have) for the first-person singular.
Using Spanish Verb Conjugation and Subject-Verb Agreement, the correct form of tener for "Yo" is "tengo".

Analyze the second blank

The second sentence is: "Javier: Tú necesitas ________ calculadora científica."
The noun following the blank is "calculadora" (calculator), which is a feminine singular noun in Spanish.
Using Spanish Vocabulary, the definite article must agree in gender and number with "calculadora".
Therefore, the correct definite article is "la".

Combine the answers

Combining the correct forms from both steps gives "tengo" for the first blank and "la" for the second blank.
This matches the option: "tengo, la".

Answer:

• (A) tengo, el
• (B) tiene, la
• (C) tiene, el
• (D) tengo, la (Correct answer)
