choose the correct word or phrase.

antes de comer tenemos que ________ la mesa.

quitar
poner
pedir

Explanation:

Analyze the first sentence and subject

The first sentence is: "Ellos se ________ rápido por la mañana."
The subject is "Ellos" (third-person plural).
The verb needed is a conjugated form of the reflexive verb "vestirse" (to get dressed) in the preterite tense.

Determine the correct conjugation of "vestirse"

"Vestirse" is an \(e
ightarrow i\) stem-changing verb in the preterite tense.
The stem change occurs only in the third-person singular and plural forms:

• Third-person plural (Ellos): "vistieron"

Therefore, "vistieron" is the correct form.

Analyze the second sentence and context

The second sentence is: "Antes de comer tenemos que ________ la mesa."
This translates to: "Before eating we have to ________ the table."
We need the correct verb that completes the idiomatic expression for setting the table: "poner la mesa".

• "quitar la mesa" means to clear the table (done after eating).
• "poner la mesa" means to set the table (done before eating).
• "pedir" means to ask for/order.

Therefore, "poner" is the correct choice.
