Explanation:

This problem is about French verb conjugation, which falls under the "Languages" subfield of Arts. For part A, we conjugate the -er verb "parler" (to speak) in the singular present tense. "Je" (I) takes "parle", "tu" (you, informal) takes "parles", and "il/elle" (he/she) takes "parle". For part B, we choose the appropriate -er verb from the options and conjugate it based on the subject. For example, in 1, "parler au téléphone" (to talk on the phone) is correct, so with "Je/J'", we use "parle" (but note that "Je" becomes "J'" before a vowel, so "J' parle"). We follow French present - tense conjugation rules for -er verbs: for "je", remove "er" and add "e"; for "tu", remove "er" and add "es"; for "il/elle", remove "er" and add "e"; for "tu" in questions or statements, follow the same "es" ending for -er verbs (with some exceptions, but here all are regular -er verbs).

Answer:

Part A

je parle
tu parles
il / elle parle

Part B

1. (nager/parler) Je/J' parle au téléphone avec des amis.
2. (aimer/écouter) Tu aimes le chocolat. (We choose "aimer" as "aimer le chocolat" means "to like chocolate", and conjugate "aimer" for "tu" as "aimes")
3. (danser/regarder) Je/J' danse avec des amis. (Choose "danser" (to dance) and conjugate for "je" as "danse")
4. (regarder/étudier) Il étudie le français à Eastview High School. (Choose "étudier" (to study) and conjugate for "il" as "étudie")
5. (écouter/nager) Elle écoute de la musique le soir. (Choose "écouter" (to listen) and conjugate for "elle" as "écoute")
6. (nager/danser) Je nage dans l'océan. (Choose "nager" (to swim) and conjugate for "je" as "nage")
7. (adorer/danser) La jolie jeune fille danse le tango avec un garçon. (Choose "danser" (to dance) and conjugate for "elle" (la jolie jeune fille is feminine) as "danse")
8. (voyager/aimer) Tu voyages souvent en France? (Choose "voyager" (to travel) and conjugate for "tu" as "voyages")
9. (écouter/aimer) Est - ce que tu aimes regarder la télé? (Choose "aimer" (to like) and conjugate for "tu" as "aimes")
10. (danser/adorer) Elle danse avec son petit ami. (Choose "danser" (to dance) and conjugate for "elle" as "danse")
11. (adorer/nager) Je/J' adore les acteurs dans ce film. (Choose "adorer" (to adore) and conjugate for "je" as "adore")
12. (voyager/adorer) Tu adores en France? (Choose "adorer" (to adore) – wait, no, "voyager en France" is "to travel in France", so we should choose "voyager" and conjugate for "tu" as "voyages". So correction: (voyager/adorer) Tu voyages en France?
13. (voyager/danser) Je voyage au Canada. (Choose "voyager" (to travel) and conjugate for "je" as "voyage")
14. (danser/aimer mieux) Il aime mieux le français. (Choose "aimer mieux" (to like better) and conjugate for "il" as "aime mieux" – but "aimer" is the main verb, so "il aime mieux" as "aimer" for "il" is "aime")
15. (étudier/écouter) Tu étudies les maths? (Choose "étudier" (to study) and conjugate for "tu" as "étudies")
