yo soy el mayor a la boda.
yo soy el peor a la boda.
yo soy el mejor a la boda.

Explanation:

Analyze the English sentence

The sentence to translate is "I am the youngest at the wedding."

• "I am" translates to "Yo soy" (using the verb ser for identity/characteristic).
• "the youngest" is a superlative. In Spanish, "younger/youngest" is expressed using the irregular comparative/superlative form "menor". Thus, "the youngest" (masculine singular) is "el menor".
• "at the wedding" is translated in these options as "a la boda".

Evaluate the given options

• "Yo soy el menor a la boda." uses "el menor" (the youngest). This matches the target meaning.
• "Yo soy el mayor a la boda." uses "el mayor" (the oldest/greatest).
• "Yo soy el peor a la boda." uses "el peor" (the worst).
• "Yo soy el mejor a la boda." uses "el mejor" (the best).

Select the correct translation

The option containing "el menor" correctly translates "the youngest".

Answer:

• (A) Yo soy el menor a la boda. (Correct answer)
• (B) Yo soy el mayor a la boda.
• (C) Yo soy el peor a la boda.
• (D) Yo soy el mejor a la boda.
