d) cocines

Explanation:

Analyze Question 1

Using the Spanish Imperative Mood knowledge point
The sentence is: "Luisa, por favor, _________ las zanahorias para la ensalada ahora."

• The speaker is addressing "Luisa" directly, which requires the informal second-person singular pronoun tú.
• The phrase "por favor" and the context indicate a direct command (imperative mood).
• For the regular -ar verb pelar (to peel), the affirmative tú command form is identical to the third-person singular present indicative form: pela.
• Therefore, the correct option is a) pela.

Analyze Question 2

Using the Spanish Subjunctive Mood knowledge point
The sentence is: "Ellos quieren que tú _________ la cena esta noche."

• The main clause "Ellos quieren que" expresses a wish or desire (volition), which triggers the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause.
• The subject of the subordinate clause is tú.
• For the regular -ar verb cocinar (to cook), the present subjunctive endings for tú use the opposite vowel (-es). Thus, the form is cocines.
• Therefore, the correct option is d) cocines.

Answer:

Question 1

• a) pela (Correct answer)
• b) pelan
• c) pelen
• d) pele

Question 2

• a) cocina
• b) cocinas
• c) cocinen
• d) cocines (Correct answer)
