Which of these is the correct object of the verb?
Monté a __________ y salí del rancho.
caballo
cerdo
coche
paloma
Explanation
Montar is the verb used to get on, or ride, a horse or mule; thus the only valid option is caballo.
Which one of these options CANNOT fill in the blank in the following sentence.
Busco __________.
la secretaria
un apartamento
un carro barato
la playa
la oficina
Explanation
The only thing that cannot correctly fill in this blank is "la secretaria." Since this noun is a person, without the personal "a" before the noun the sentence would be grammatically incorrect.
Which noun best completes the sentence?
Mi madre no puede cocinar, porque __________ no está funcionando.
el horno
la radio
la puerta
el armario
Explanation
The question translates to "my mother cannot cook because __________ isn't working." The only logical answer is that el horno, the oven, isn't working.
Which of these is the correct object of the verb?
Conduje mi __________ a mi oficina ayer.
coche
casa
cerdo
maquina
Explanation
"Conducir" means to drive a vehicle, so the only correct answer in formal Spanish from the list above is "coche," car. While "maquina" is sometimes used informally for vehicle, it is not formal Spanish. "Cerdo" means pig, and "casa" means house.
English translation: "I drove my car to my office yesterday."
