Answer:

a. celebraron

Step-by-step explanation:

[] Ellos is a group of people (meaning "they" masculine)

-> In Spanish, when you change an infinitive (celebrar in this case, an infinitive is a verb ending in ar, er, or ir) the ending depends on the pronoun (I, you, me. In this case it is ellos)

[] Each pronoun has a number associated to it, 1 through 5. There is also the pronoun vosotros/vosotras, but those are more common to Spain so it depends.

-> Yo is 1

-> Tú is 2

-> Usted, Èl, and Ella are 3's

-> Nosotros/Nosotras is 4

-> Ustedes, Ellos, and Ellas are 5's

This means that Ellos is a 5.

[] There are 5 different Spanish endings for all verb tenses. See where I am going with this?

-> Using this method you can quickly conjugate many verbs for all pronouns.

Yo celebré

Tú celebrate

Usted/Èl/Ella celebro

Nosotros/Nosotras celebramos

-> Ustedes/Ellos/Ellas celebraron <-

Have a nice day! Everyone is taught Spanish differently, but I hope this will make sense to you

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.
