Answer 1

Hola, can you please translate into English so I can answer, thank you! :)

Answer 2

The correct indirect object pronoun that completes the conversation is:

• Le.

- Ramón y su madre siempre ayudan a los muchachos del colegio. Para esta fiesta le enseñó a Josefina y a Pablo a preparar su pollo especial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Indirect object pronouns depend on the personal pronoun to which they apply, however, since the second sentence of the paragraph has no noun, it can be identified by the verb it contains, the verb in that sentence is "enseñar", whose conjugation in the Past Tense for each personal pronoun is:

1. Yo enseñé.

2. Tú enseñaste.

3. Él enseñó.

4. Ella enseñó.

5. Ello enseñó.

6. Nosotros enseñamos.

7. Ellos enseñaron.

As you can see, the possible personal pronoun options are él, ella or ello, and since Ramon and his mother had been mentioned, it is reduced to él or ella, and since the indirect object pronoun that most applies is "le", it is the one used within the sentence.
