Explanation:

Analyze the first sentence structure

Using the Spanish Volition Verbs and Spanish Subjunctive Mood knowledge points:

• The main clause is "Mis amigos quieren que..." (My friends want that...).
• The verb "querer" expresses volition/desire, which triggers the subjunctive mood in the dependent clause when there is a change of subject.
• The subject of the dependent clause is "la mesera" (the waitress), which is third-person singular (ella).

Conjugate the verb for the first blank

Using the Spanish Subjunctive Mood knowledge point:

• The verb to conjugate is "servir" (to serve), which is an e-to-i stem-changing verb.
• The third-person singular present subjunctive form of "servir" is "sirva".
• Therefore, the correct option is (b) "sirva".

Analyze the second sentence context

Using the Spanish Cooking Vocabulary and Spanish Formal Commands knowledge points:

• The sentence is: "_____ el ajo, el pimiento y la cebolla antes de ponerlos en el sartén." (_____ the garlic, the pepper, and the onion before putting them in the pan.)
• The action describes preparing vegetables (garlic, pepper, onion) before cooking them in a pan.
• The options are: "Queme" (Burn), "Ponga al fuego" (Put on the fire), "Pique" (Chop/mince), and "Escriba" (Write).

Select the correct vocabulary word

Using the Spanish Cooking Vocabulary knowledge point:

• "Pique" (from "picar", meaning to chop or mince) is the logical culinary action to perform on garlic, peppers, and onions before putting them in a pan.
• Therefore, the correct option is "Pique".
