Explanation:

Analyze the context and meaning

Using the Spanish Contextual Verb Selection knowledge point, we analyze the sentence: "Marco y Paquito no [blank] comer tantos dulces (so much candy). Van a enfermarse (get sick)."
The second sentence translates to "They are going to get sick." This indicates that eating so much candy is a bad idea or something they should not do.
The verb needed should express obligation, advice, or permission. The verb deber (should/ought to) fits perfectly here to express "should not eat so much candy."

Identify the subject and verb conjugation

Using the Spanish Verb Conjugation knowledge point, we identify the subject of the sentence: "Marco y Paquito".
This subject corresponds to the third-person plural pronoun ellos (they).
We conjugate the present tense of the verb deber for ellos:

• Yo debo
• Tú debes
• Él/Ella/Usted debe
• Nosotros debemos
• Vosotros debéis
• Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes deben

Therefore, the correct conjugated form is deben.
