Question

select the correct answer.
which phrase correctly completes this sentence?
ayer, mi hermano menor ______ la cabeza con una pelota.
a. se golpea
b. nos golpearon
c. te golpeaste
d. se golpeó

Explanation:

The sentence is in the past tense ("ayer" means "yesterday"). We need to find the correct reflexive verb form for "mi hermano menor" (my younger brother, singular third person). Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: "se golpea" is present tense, so it's incorrect as the action happened yesterday.
• Option B: "nos golpearon" is plural (first person plural) and past tense, but the subject is singular ("mi hermano menor"), so incorrect.
• Option C: "te golpeaste" is second person singular past tense, but the subject is "mi hermano menor" (third person), so incorrect.
• Option D: "se golpeó" is third person singular past tense, which matches the subject "mi hermano menor" and the past time frame ("ayer").

Answer:

D. se golpeó
