Question

select the correct answer
which pair of verbs correctly completes this sentence?
el sonido que hacen las ovejas se llama ____ y el sonido que hacen los cerdos se llama ____.
a. balar, gruñir
b. relinchar, balar
c. gruñir, balar
d. cacarear, balar

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to know the correct onomatopoeic verbs for the sounds animals make in Spanish. Ovejas (sheep) make the sound "balar", and cerdos (pigs) make the sound "gruñir". Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: "balar" is the sound sheep make, and "gruñir" is the sound pigs make. This matches.
• Option B: "relinchar" is the sound horses make, not sheep. "balar" is sheep's sound, but first verb is wrong. Eliminate.
• Option C: "gruñir" is pig's sound, "balar" is sheep's sound, but the order is reversed. Eliminate.
• Option D: "cacarear" is the sound chickens make, not sheep. Eliminate.

Answer:

A. balar, gruñir
