Question

select the correct answer.
which phrase best completes this conversation?
ernesto: matilde, ¿qué le pasó a tu hermano?
matilde: tuvo un accidente. se cayó de la bicicleta y ______.
a. se quemó
b. se quemó la piel
c. se rompió la pierna
d. se cortó el pelo

Explanation:

We analyze the context: Matilde's brother had an accident (fell off a bike). We need to pick the most logical consequence.

• Option A: "se quemó" (he burned) – no context for burning.
• Option B: "se quemó la piel" (he burned his skin) – still no burning context.
• Option C: "se rompió la pierna" (he broke his leg) – a common injury from a bike fall.
• Option D: "se cortó el pelo" (he cut his hair) – unrelated to a bike accident.

So the most appropriate is C as a bike fall can lead to a broken leg.

Answer:

C. se rompió la pierna
