Explanation:

This is a Spanish translation exercise where we need to translate the given English phrases into Spanish using the passive voice structure (similar to the model "Se prohíbe correr" for "No running"). Let's solve each one:

1. Nurses needed

• The structure for "needed" in passive voice (se busca/necesita) for a profession. "Nurses" is "enfermeras" (feminine plural, if we consider female nurses; or "enfermeros" for male or mixed, but often "enfermeras" or "personal de enfermería" but the simple form: "Se necesitan enfermeras" (since "nurses" is plural, we use "se necesitan" + plural noun).

2. Eating and drinking prohibited

• The model uses "Se prohíbe + infinitive". So "eating" is "comer", "drinking" is "beber". So "Se prohíbe comer y beber".

3. Programmers sought

• "Sought" here means "wanted", so "Se buscan programadores" (programmers is "programadores", plural, so "se buscan").

4. English is spoken

• Passive voice in Spanish: "Se habla inglés" (the structure "se + verb (third person singular) + object", since "English" is the object of "speak").

5. Computers sold

• "Sold" is "vendido", but in passive voice for "are sold", we use "Se venden computadoras" (computers is "computadoras", plural, so "se venden").

6. No talking

• Similar to the model "No running" → "Se prohíbe correr", so "No talking" → "Se prohíbe hablar".

7. Teacher needed

• "Teacher" is "profesor" (male) or "profesora" (female). Let's use "profesor" (neutral or male). So "Se necesita un profesor" (since "teacher" is singular, "se necesita" + singular noun with article "un").

8. Books sold

• "Books" is "libros", plural. So "Se venden libros".

9. Do not enter

• The model is prohibitive, so "Se prohíbe entrar" (similar to "No running" → "Se prohíbe correr", "Do not enter" → "Se prohíbe entrar").

10. Spanish is spoken

• Similar to "English is spoken", "Spanish" is "español", so "Se habla español".

Final Answers (Translations):

1. Se necesitan enfermeras
2. Se prohíbe comer y beber
3. Se buscan programadores
4. Se habla inglés
5. Se venden computadoras
6. Se prohíbe hablar
7. Se necesita un profesor (or Se necesita una profesora if female)
8. Se venden libros
9. Se prohíbe entrar
10. Se habla español
