Final answer:

The subject of this question is English and the grade level is High School. The question involves comparing well-formed translations with grammatically incorrect sentences in Spanish. The pattern observed from the examples is explained and the incorrect sentences are identified as not following the correct structure used in Spanish.


Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is English. The question is related to the correct translation of sentences from English to Spanish. The student is comparing well-formed translations with grammatically incorrect sentences and is asked to identify any patterns.

From the provided examples, we can observe a pattern in the formation of the sentence "I like..." which is translated as "Me gusta..." in Spanish, emphasizing the use of the pronoun 'me' followed by the verb 'gusta'. Similarly, "She likes to..." is translated as "A ella le gusta..." using the pronoun 'le'.

Based on this pattern, we can identify that the incorrect sentences (*Yo gusta chocolate, *Yo gusto pizza, *Ella le gusta bailar) are grammatically incorrect because they don't follow the correct structure used in Spanish.
