Question

select the correct answer
which verb form correctly completes this sentence?

juan: ¿podrías reservar el hotel para mí?
rafael: no lo ______ hacer hoy como estoy ocupado.

a. podríamos
b. podría
c. podrías
d. podrían

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the subject and verb agreement in Spanish. The subject here is Rafael (first - person singular in the context of his response, "yo" implied). The verb "podría" is the first - person singular conditional form of "poder", which fits the context of Rafael saying he couldn't do it today because he's busy. "Podríamos" is first - person plural (we could), "podrías" is second - person singular (you could), and "podrían" is third - person plural (they could), so they don't match the subject here.

Answer:

B. podría
