Answer 1

• Of

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three prepositions in the text, all of them are de.

El primo de mi madre es de Santo Domingo. El color de sus ojos es negro y su pelo es castaño. Me gusta hablar con él.

The preposition de may have different meanings. In that expression you can observe two uses, one of them is to denote possession and the other to denote where someone is from.

"El primo" es de "mi madre" (denotes possesion). In English, the preposition of is used to denote possesion.

"El primo" es de "Santo Domingo" (denotes where he is or comes from). In English, the preposition from is used to denote where a person is or come from.

"El color" es of "sus ojos (denotes possesion). Again, in English it is used of.

A very literal translation of the text would be:

• The cousin of my Mother is from Santo Domingo. The color of his eyes is black and his hair is brown. I like talking to him.

Then, using the list of choices the only feasible answer is of.
