Question

Look at the image, read, and choose the option with the correct preposition and article that match the image.

People playing volleyball

Cuando hace calor prefiero jugar ________ voleibol.

a el
al
el
a la

Answer 1

For this case we can translate the sentence given as:

In hot weather I prefer to play ________ volleyball.

We must complete the sentence with the most successful option.

In Spanish, when the preposition "a" is used followed by the article "el", a contraction occurs, that is, the article contracted is "al". In Spanish it is not correct to write: "a el"

Then, the sentence can be completed as:

In hot weather I prefer to play volleyball.

Cuando hace calor prefiero jugar al voleibol.

Answer:

Option B

Answer 2

The correct answer is al

Step-by-step explanation:

Because se juega a (being "a" the preposition). The noun voleibol is masculine therefore we use the article el. We have then the contraction a + el= al.
