Answer: 1. indicative 2. subjunctive 3. indicative 4. subjunctive

Explanation: The subjunctive and the indicative are two of the three moods that exist in Spanish. The subjunctive mood is used to talk about desires and requests. The sentences: "Jennifer desires to become an artist, but she still needs to go to school." and "Lizzy and Erin request that we all bring a dish to the party." are in the subjunctive mood since they convey wishes. The Indicative mood is used to talk about facts and things that are believed to be true; the sentences: "Danna and Raquel are sure that we will arrive on time." and "The curator believes that all the paintings are authentic." are on indicative mood since they say facts or stated believes.
