Explanation:

Analyze the question prompt

The prompt asks to complete the sentence: "En países hispanos, el Día de la Madre se celebra __________." This translates to: "In Hispanic countries, Mother's Day is celebrated __________."

Evaluate option A

Option A is "diferentes días según el país" (different days depending on the country). In the Spanish-speaking world, Mother's Day is not unified on a single date. For example, Spain celebrates it on the first Sunday of May, Mexico on May 10th, Argentina on the third Sunday of October, and Panama on December 8th. This option is culturally accurate.

Evaluate option B

Option B is "en el mismo día que en los Estados Unidos" (on the same day as in the United States). The US celebrates Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May. While some Hispanic countries (like Colombia, Honduras, and Venezuela) also use this day, many others do not. Therefore, this statement is not true for Hispanic countries as a whole.

Evaluate option C

Option C is "el primer sábado de mayo" (the first Saturday of May). No major Hispanic country celebrates Mother's Day on the first Saturday of May (Spain celebrates on the first Sunday of May).

Evaluate option D

Option D is "el 4 de julio" (the 4th of July). July 4th is US Independence Day, not Mother's Day.

Determine the correct response

Since Mother's Day dates vary widely across different Spanish-speaking nations, option A is the correct and culturally accurate choice.

Answer:

• (A) a. diferentes días según el país (Correct answer)
• (B) b. en el mismo día que en los Estados Unidos
• (C) c. el primer sábado de mayo
• (D) d. el 4 de julio.
