Question

which of the following sequence of numbers means \fourth, fifth, sixth\ in spanish?

a. quinto, sexto, cuarto

b. cuarto, séptimo, sexto

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to know the Spanish ordinal numbers: "fourth" is "cuarto", "fifth" is "quinto", and "sixth" is "sexto". We check each option:

• Option A: "quinto" (fifth), "sexto" (sixth), "cuarto" (fourth) – order is wrong.
• Option B: "cuarto" (fourth), "séptimo" (seventh), "sexto" (sixth) – second term is wrong.
• Option C: "cuarto" (fourth), "quinto" (fifth), "sexto" (sixth) – matches the required sequence.
• Option D: "sexto" (sixth), "quinto" (fifth), "cuarto" (fourth) – order is reversed.

Answer:

C. cuarto, quinto, sexto
