él tiene hambre.

Explanation:

Analyze the prompt and model

The prompt asks us to write an informal affirmative command (tú command) in Spanish based on the situation provided. The model given is:

• Situation: "La familia va a comer en cinco minutos y no hay platos encima de la mesa." (The family is going to eat in five minutes and there are no plates on the table.)
• Command: "Pon la mesa." (Set the table.)

Analyze the specific situation

The situation for Question 17 is:
"Él tiene hambre." (He is hungry.)
Since the prompt states "Tu hermano menor tiene que hacer muchas cosas" (Your younger brother has a lot of things to do), we are addressing our younger brother directly using the informal "tú" form.

Determine the appropriate action

When someone is hungry ("tiene hambre"), the logical command is to tell them to eat.

• The Spanish verb for "to eat" is "comer".
• We can also use "to have lunch" ("almorzar") or "to have dinner" ("cenar"), but "comer" is the most direct and common verb associated with hunger.

Conjugate the verb into an informal affirmative command

To form an informal affirmative command (tú command) for regular verbs:

• Use the third-person singular form of the present indicative.
• For the verb "comer", the third-person singular present indicative is "come".
• Therefore, the command is "Come".

Refine the final sentence

We can write "Come" (Eat) or make it slightly more complete like "Come algo" (Eat something). "Come" is the most direct and grammatically correct command matching the style of the model.

Answer:

Come.
