Question

select the correct answer.
which word or phrase best completes this conversation?
fernando: ¿cuál es la fecha hoy?
pedro: es el 22 de mayo.
fernando: entonces, ______ fue el 20 de mayo.
a. anteayer
b. anoche
c. ayer
d. la semana pasada

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context: today is May 22nd, and we need a term for the 20th. Let's define each option:

• Option A (anteayer): Means "the day before yesterday". If today is 22nd, yesterday is 21st, so the day before yesterday is 20th. This fits.
• Option B (anoche): Means "last night", which refers to a night, not a date two days before, so it's incorrect.
• Option C (ayer): Means "yesterday". If today is 22nd, yesterday is 21st, not 20th, so incorrect.
• Option D (la semana pasada): Means "last week", which is a week ago, not two days ago, so incorrect.

Answer:

A. anteayer
