Answer 2

The correct answer is:

Andrés: ¿Quién es María?

Martina: María es mi AMIGA de la escuela

Step-by-step explanation:

In Spanish we have some grammatical rules related to the CONCORDANCE between words. Concordance means that some words need to match in genre, number or both with others to be counted as grammatical. For example, if we have the noun “niña”, that is singular and feminine and we want to add an adjective to qualify the noun, then the adjective will also be singular and feminine: bonita (not bonitos that is plural and masculine).

In our specific question we have four nouns to fill the blank:

1. AMIGA: Singular/feminine
2. AMIGO: Singular/masculine
3. NOVIO: Singular/masculine
4. PRIMO: Singular/masculine

So, now we just need to ask ourselves what are the characteristics that the noun MARÍA HAS, and they are:

María is SINGULAR AND FEMININE, so the only option that matches is AMIGA.

María es mi AMIGA de la escuela.
