Question

select the correct answer.
which verb form correctly completes this sentence?
es importante que ustedes ______ frutas todos los días.
a. como
b. coman
c. comemos
d. comamos

Explanation:

In Spanish, the structure "Es importante que..." requires the subjunctive mood. The subject here is "ustedes" (you all, plural formal), and the subjunctive form of "comer" for "ustedes" is "coman". Let's analyze the options:

• Option A: "como" is the indicative (yo) or preposition, not subjunctive for "ustedes".
• Option B: "coman" is the subjunctive form for "ustedes" (2nd person plural formal), which fits the structure "Es importante que...".
• Option C: "comemos" is the indicative (nosotros) form, not subjunctive for "ustedes".
• Option D: "comamos" is the subjunctive for "nosotros", not for "ustedes".

Answer:

B. coman
