select the correct answer
which verb form correctly completes this command that a teacher says to her student?
¡______ sano para sentirte bien!
a. comer
b. comas
c. coman
d. come

Explanation:

This is a Spanish verb - form question related to the subjunctive mood in commands (especially in the context of giving advice). The sentence “¡______ sano para sentirte bien!” is a command or advice. In the subjunctive mood for the “tú” (you, informal) form, the verb “comer” (to eat) has the subjunctive form “comas” for the “tú” form. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: “Comer” is the infinitive form. It can't be used here as we need a conjugated form for the subject (implied “tú” as the teacher is speaking to a student).
• Option B: “Comas” is the subjunctive form of “comer” for the “tú” (you, informal) subject. In the context of giving advice (to eat healthy to feel good), the subjunctive is appropriate for this type of command - like advice.
• Option C: “Coman” is the subjunctive form for the “ustedes” (you all, formal/plural) or “ellos/ellas” (they) subjects. Since the teacher is speaking to a single student (implied “tú”), this is incorrect.
• Option D: “Come” is the indicative (present simple) form for the “tú” subject. But in the context of advice (to eat healthy to feel good), the subjunctive is more appropriate than the indicative. So “comas” is the correct choice.

Answer:

B. Comas
