Question

the boys notebooks
los chicos cuadernos
los cuadernos de los chicos
los papeles de los chicos
los cuadernos chicos

Explanation:

To translate "The boys' notebooks" into Spanish, we use the structure "los + noun + de + los + plural noun (for possessive)". "Notebooks" is "cuadernos", "boys" is "chicos" (plural), so the correct possessive structure is "los cuadernos de los chicos". Let's analyze each option:

• "los chico's cuadernos": Incorrect, "chico" should be plural "chicos" and the possessive structure is wrong.
• "los cuadernos de los chicos": Correct, follows the "noun + de + plural noun" for possessive in Spanish (equivalent to "the notebooks of the boys" which means "the boys' notebooks").
• "los papeles de los chicos": "Papeles" means "papers", not "notebooks", so incorrect.
• "los cuadernos chicos": "Chicos" here would be an adjective meaning "small", not possessive, so incorrect.

Answer:

B. los cuadernos de los chicos
