Explanation:

• For Matching (A):
• "abogado" means "lawyer" in Spanish.
• "contador" means "accountant" in Spanish.
• "enfermera" means "nurse" in Spanish.
• "maestro" means "teacher" in Spanish.
• "artista" means "artist" in Spanish.
• "mesero" means "waiter" in Spanish.
• "plomero" means "plumber" in Spanish.
• "actor" means "actor" in Spanish.
• "doctor" means "doctor" in Spanish.
• "dentista" means "dentist" in Spanish.
• "cocinero" means "cook" in Spanish.
• "bombero" means "firefighter" in Spanish.
• "periodista" means "journalist" in Spanish.
• "peluquero" means "hair stylist" in Spanish.
• "panadero" means "baker" in Spanish.
• "arquitecto" means "architect" in Spanish.
• "mecánico" means "mechanic" in Spanish.
• "pintor" means "painter" in Spanish.
• "cartero" means "letter carrier" in Spanish.
• "músico" means "musician" in Spanish.
• For Fill - the - blanks (B):
• The feminine form of "peluquero" (hair stylist) is "peluquera".
• The masculine form of "panadera" (baker - female) is "panadero".
• The feminine form of "contador" (accountant - male) is "contadora".
• The masculine form of "cocinera" (cook - female) is "cocinero". In the table, since the English translation is "cook", and the given feminine form is "panadera" (which is wrong for this row, it should be related to "cook"), but following the pattern, if we assume the row for "cook" has a mistake in the given feminine form (it should be "cocinera"), the masculine is "cocinero".
• The masculine and feminine forms of "dentista" (dentist) are the same in Spanish (but in some regions, "dentista" can be used for both, or "dentista" (female) and "dentista" (male) - it's a non - gendered word in common usage for the profession).
• The masculine form of "mesera" (waitress) is "mesero".
