Answer:
quiere
Step-by-step explanation:
Your task in this problem is to find the missing word in the conversation by using the phrases given as context clues.
In this dialogue, somebody seems to be taking the other's order for a drink.
The first line translates as: "Hello, miss. What do you ________ to have?"
The second line translates as: "Hello, I want a drink with pineapple and strawberries, please."
You can infer the word that goes in the blank based on the second speaker's response.
The phrase yo quiero, meaning, "I want," is a response to the first speaker's question. That question most likely was, "What do you want to have?"
Now that we know what the first speaker was asking, we just have to translate to Spanish to fill in the blank.
The only missing word in the phrase is "want." The phrase, "to want," translates to Spanish as querer. But this isn't the answer, because we still need to conjugate the verb to fit the rest of the sentence.
To conjugate the verb querer, we need to change the word to fit the subject of the sentence (in other words, who is "acting out" the verb?).
The subject that the first speaker uses is usted. This is the formal word for "you" in Spanish. So, we must conjugate querer to fit the subject usted.
To conjugate a verb in Spanish, you change the ending of the verb. For querer, the ending is -er.
Querer is also a special verb which, when conjugated, may also change the base of the word. Sometimes this type of verb is called a "boot verb" or "boot word" when teaching Spanish. For querer, the new base for the word becomes quier-.
So, the conjugation of querer used for usted is quiere.
