In Spanish, why are the present-tense verbs for TO COMPETE considered to be stem-changing verbs? A. Because, in some of them, when E is stressed, it is changed to IE B. Because, in some of them, when O is stressed, it is changed to UE C. Because, in some of them, when E is stressed, it is changed to I D. Because, in some situations, the first-person singular is irregular.

The correct answer is A. In Spanish, the present-tense verbs for 'to compete' are considered to be stem-changing verbs because sometimes, when 'e' is stressed, it is then changed to 'ie'. A stem-changing verb is a verb in which the stem changes predictably when the word is conjugated.
