Question

select the correct answer.
which phrase correctly completes this conversation?
manuela: el restaurante la hacienda es el mejor de la ciudad.
ricardo: es verdad. sirve ____________ tamales de toda la ciudad.
a. los mejores
b. las peores
c. más deliciosos
d. menos ricos

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context. Manuela says the restaurant is the best in the city. Ricardo agrees, so the tamales should be the best (superlative) to match.

• Option A: "los mejores" means "the best" (masculine plural, since "tamales" is masculine plural), which fits the positive, superlative context.
• Option B: "las peores" means "the worst" (feminine plural), contradicts the "best restaurant" idea.
• Option C: "más deliciosos" is comparative ("more delicious"), but we need superlative here (since it's the best restaurant, the tamales should be the best, not just more delicious than some).
• Option D: "menos ricos" means "less rich/tasty", contradicts the positive context.

So A is correct.

Answer:

A. los mejores
