Answer:

To solve this, we use the plural formation rules from the given table. For words ending in a vowel, we add -s for plural. For words ending in a consonant, we add -es.

Step 1: Identify words ending in a vowel (plural ends in -s)

• cocina: Ends with 'a' (vowel). Plural: cocinas
• planta: Ends with 'a' (vowel). Plural: plantas
• pared: Ends with 'd'? Wait, no, 'pared' ends with 'd'? Wait, 'pared' is spelled p-a-r-e-d. Wait, 'e' is a vowel? Wait, no, the rule says "ends in a vowel" (a, e, i, o, u). Wait, 'pared' ends with 'd' (consonant)? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's recheck the words:

Wait, the words are: cocina (ends with 'a'), planta (ends with 'a'), casa (ends with 'a'), baño (ends with 'o'), techo (ends with 'o'), joven? Wait, no, let's list all words:

Given words: edificio (done), ascensor, cocina, joven, planta, pared, jardín, comedor, casa, baño, techo, color.

Wait, the "Plural ends in -s" category is for words where the masculine form ends in a vowel (so we add -s). Let's check each word:

• cocina: Ends with 'a' (vowel). Plural: cocinas
• planta: Ends with 'a' (vowel). Plural: plantas
• casa: Ends with 'a' (vowel). Plural: casas
• baño: Ends with 'o' (vowel). Plural: baños
• techo: Ends with 'o' (vowel). Plural: techos

Wait, but also, let's check the other category (plural ends in -es) for words ending in consonants:

Step 2: Identify words ending in a consonant (plural ends in -es)

• ascensor: Ends with 'r' (consonant). Plural: ascensores
• joven: Ends with 'n' (consonant). Plural: jovenes (Wait, "joven" is masculine, ends with 'n' (consonant), so add -es: jovenes? Wait, but "joven" is spelled j-o-v-e-n. So ends with 'n' (consonant). So plural: jovenes?
• pared: Ends with 'd' (consonant). Plural: paredes
• jardín: Ends with 'n' (consonant). Plural: jardines
• comedor: Ends with 'r' (consonant). Plural: comedores
• color: Ends with 'r' (consonant). Plural: colores

Wait, let's organize:

Plural ends in -s (words ending in vowel, add -s):

• cocina → cocinas
• planta → plantas
• casa → casas
• baño → baños
• techo → techos

Plural ends in -es (words ending in consonant, add -es):

• ascensor → ascensores
• joven → jovenes
• pared → paredes
• jardín → jardines
• comedor → comedores
• color → colores

Wait, but let's check the original table: "Masculine form ends in a vowel: add -s (el edificio → los edificios)". "Masculine form ends in a consonant: add -es (el ascensor → los ascensores)". So we need to check the masculine form's ending.

Let's list each word with their masculine form (assuming they are masculine unless feminine, but the problem is about plural formation as per the table, which uses masculine forms for plural rules? Wait, the table says "Masculine form" for plural rules. So:

• edificio (masculine, ends with 'o' (vowel)) → plural edificios (add -s)
• ascensor (masculine, ends with 'r' (consonant)) → plural ascensores (add -es)
• cocina: Let's check if it's masculine? Wait, maybe the words are all masculine? Wait, the table is about masculine to plural, but maybe the words given are all masculine (since the task is about plural formation as per the table). So:

Let's re-express each word with their masculine form (assuming they are masculine nouns):

• cocina: Wait, maybe "cocina" is feminine, but the plural rule for feminine? Wait, the table's plural formation is for masculine form, but maybe the rule applies to all nouns: if a noun (masculine or feminine) ends with a vowel, plural ends with -s; if ends with consonant, plural ends with -es.

So:

Words with plural ending in -s (ends with vowel, add -s):

• edificio (done: edificios)
• cocina (ends with 'a' → cocinas)
• planta (ends with 'a' → plantas)
• casa (ends with 'a' → casas)
• baño (ends with 'o' → baños)
• techo (ends with 'o' → techos)

Words with plural ending in -es (ends with consonant, add -es):

• ascensor (ends with 'r' → ascensores)
• joven (ends with 'n' → jovenes)
• pared (ends with 'd' → paredes)
• jardín (ends with 'n' → jardines)
• comedor (ends with 'r' → comedores)
• color (ends with 'r' → colores)

Now, let's fill the boxes:

Plural ends in -s:

• edificios (done)
• cocinas
• plantas
• casas
• baños
• techos

Plural ends in -es:

• ascensores
• jovenes
• paredes
• jardines
• comedores
• colores

Wait, but let's check the original problem's boxes. The "Plural ends in -s" box has "edificios" already. Then we need to add the other words with plural -s:

• cocina → cocinas
• planta → plantas
• casa → casas
• baño → baños
• techo → techos

For "Plural ends in -es":

• ascensor → ascensores
• joven → jovenes
• pared → paredes
• jardín → jardines
• comedor → comedores
• color → colores

Let's verify each:

• cocina: ends with 'a' (vowel) → add -s → cocinas ✔️
• planta: ends with 'a' (vowel) → add -s → plantas ✔️
• casa: ends with 'a' (vowel) → add -s → casas ✔️
• baño: ends with 'o' (vowel) → add -s → baños ✔️
• techo: ends with 'o' (vowel) → add -s → techos ✔️
• ascensor: ends with 'r' (consonant) → add -es → ascensores ✔️
• joven: ends with 'n' (consonant) → add -es → jovenes ✔️
• pared: ends with 'd' (consonant) → add -es → paredes ✔️
• jardín: ends with 'n' (consonant) → add -es → jardines ✔️
• comedor: ends with 'r' (consonant) → add -es → comedores ✔️
• color: ends with 'r' (consonant) → add -es → colores ✔️

So the completed table would be:

Plural ends in -s:

• edificios
• cocinas
• plantas
• casas
• baños
• techos

Plural ends in -es:

• ascensores
• jovenes
• paredes
• jardines
• comedores
• colores
