To solve this, we analyze each verb based on subject - verb agreement in the preterite tense (Spanish past tense) and context:
1. First blank (JUAN's first sentence)
The subject is "yo" (implied, as Juan is speaking about what he knew). The verb "saber" (to know) has the preterite form "supe" for the first - person singular (yo). "Supiste" is the second - person singular (tú) form. So we choose "Supe".
2. Second blank (JORGE's first sentence)
The subject is "yo" (Jorge is speaking about himself). The verb "poder" (to be able to) has the preterite form "pude" for the first - person singular (yo). "Pudo" is the third - person singular (él/ella/usted) form. So we choose "pude".
3. Third blank (JORGE's first sentence)
The subject is "yo" (Jorge). The verb "tener" (to have) has the preterite form "tuve" for the first - person singular (yo). "Tuvieron" is the third - person plural (ellos/ellas/ustedes) form. So we choose "tuve".
4. Fourth blank (JORGE's second sentence)
The subject is "mi hermana" (third - person singular, feminine). The verb "hacer" (to do/make) has the preterite form "hizo" for the third - person singular (él/ella/usted). "Hice" is the first - person singular (yo) form. So we choose "hizo".
5. Fifth blank (JORGE's second sentence)
The subject is "yo" (Jorge, implied as he is talking about himself). The verb "poner" (to put) has the preterite form "puse" for the first - person singular (yo). "Pusiste" is the second - person singular (tú) form. So we choose "puse".
6. Sixth blank (JORGE's second sentence)
The subject is "todos mis amigos" (third - person plural). The verb "venir" (to come) has the preterite form "vinieron" for the third - person plural (ellos/ellas/ustedes). "Viniste" is the second - person singular (tú) form. So we choose "vinieron".
7. Seventh blank (JORGE's second sentence)
The subject is "todos mis amigos" (third - person plural). The verb "dar" (to give) has the preterite form "dieron" for the third - person plural (ellos/ellas/ustedes). "Dio" is the third - person singular (él/ella/usted) form. So we choose "dieron".
8. Eighth blank (JORGE's second sentence)
The subject is "tú" (Juan, as Jorge is addressing him). The verb "estar" (to be) has the preterite form "estuviste" for the second - person singular (tú). "Estuvo" is the third - person singular (él/ella/usted) form. So we choose "estuviste".
9. Ninth blank (JUAN's second sentence)
The subject is "Alicia y yo" (first - person plural, nosotros). The verb "decir" (to say) has the preterite form "dijimos" for the first - person plural (nosotros). "Dijiste" is the second - person singular (tú) form. So we choose "dijimos".
10. Tenth blank (JUAN's second sentence)
The subject is "Alicia y yo" (first - person plural, nosotros). The verb "querer" (to want) has the preterite form "quisimos" for the first - person plural (nosotros). "Quisiste" is the second - person singular (tú) form. So we choose "quisimos".
