Question

select the correct answer.
which word correctly completes this sentence?
me gusta practicar ______ porque es un deporte individual y además me permite fortalecer los músculos de la espalda
a. golf
b. béisbol
c. fútbol
d. natación

Explanation:

The sentence is in Spanish: "Me gusta practicar ______ porque es un deporte individual y además me permite tonificar los músculos de la espalda." We need to choose a sport that is individual and tones back muscles. Let's analyze the options:

• A. golf: Golf is a sport, but the context about toning back muscles and the typical association with "practicar" (to practice) might not fit as well as swimming for back muscle toning. Also, "golf" is usually "el golf" and the article might be a consideration, but more importantly, the individual sport and back toning.
• B. béisbol (baseball): Baseball is a team sport, so it doesn't fit the "deporte individual" (individual sport) part.
• C. fútbol (soccer): Soccer is a team sport, so it's out.
• D. natación (swimming): Swimming is an individual sport and is known to tone back muscles. So "natación" is the correct choice as it is an individual sport and matches the reason about toning back muscles.

Answer:

D. natación
