Answer:

Question 21: Andrés y María

Step 1: Analyze the subject and verb form

Andrés y María is a plural subject (two people), so the verb estar should be in the plural form están.

Step 2: Analyze the adjective (from the word bank)

The picture for 21 shows two people looking bored. The adjective aburrido (bored) has a plural form aburridos (since both are likely male or mixed, but aburrido is masculine; if mixed, aburridos is still acceptable for plural). Wait, actually, if María is female, but the plural masculine aburridos is used for mixed groups. Alternatively, maybe aburridas if both are female, but the word bank has aburrido (masculine singular), aburridos (masculine plural), aburrida (feminine singular), aburridas (feminine plural). Wait, the word bank given is: aburrido, enfermo, asustado, enojada, contento, sano. Wait, the word bank has aburrido (masculine singular), enfermo (masculine singular), asustado (masculine singular), enojada (feminine singular), contento (masculine singular), sano (masculine singular). Wait, maybe the picture for 21: Andrés (male) and María (female) looking bored. But the word bank has aburrido (masculine singular). Wait, maybe the plural form is están aburridos (since Andrés is male, and María might be considered with masculine plural for mixed? Or maybe the picture shows them bored, so están aburridos.

So:
Andrés y María están aburridos

Question 22: Fernando

Step 1: Analyze the subject and verb form

Fernando is a singular male subject, so estar is está.

Step 2: Analyze the adjective (from the word bank)

The picture for 22 shows a person with a tissue, looking sick. The adjective enfermo (sick, masculine singular) matches.

So:
Fernando está enfermo

Question 23: Emilia

Step 1: Analyze the subject and verb form

Emilia is a singular female subject, so estar is está.

Step 2: Analyze the adjective (from the word bank)

The picture for 23 shows a person eating, looking content. The adjective contento is masculine singular, but Emilia is female, so contenta? Wait, the word bank has contento (masculine singular). Wait, maybe the picture shows her happy, so está contenta? But the word bank has contento (masculine). Wait, maybe the word bank has a typo, or maybe contento is used as a default. Alternatively, maybe she is sano (healthy), but the picture shows her eating, maybe content. Wait, the word bank: aburrido, enfermo, asustado, enojada, contento, sano. enojada is feminine singular. Wait, the picture for 23: a woman eating, maybe content. Wait, maybe está contenta (but word bank has contento). Alternatively, maybe está sana (healthy, feminine of sano). Wait, the word bank has sano (masculine singular), so sana for feminine. Let’s check the picture: she is eating, maybe healthy. So está sana? Or está contenta (but word bank has contento). Wait, the word bank has enojada (feminine singular). Maybe she is angry? No, the picture shows her eating, maybe happy. Wait, maybe the word bank’s contento is used as contenta (feminine). So está contenta (but the word bank has contento). Alternatively, maybe the answer is está contenta (adjective agreement: feminine singular).

Alternatively, maybe the picture for 23 is her eating, so está contenta (content). So:
Emilia está contenta (but word bank has contento, so maybe está contento? No, adjective must agree. Wait, the word bank has enojada (feminine singular). Maybe she is angry? No, the picture shows her eating, smiling? Maybe contenta. So está contenta (using contento as contenta for feminine).

Question 24: Susana y Sarita

Step 1: Analyze the subject and verb form

Susana y Sarita is a plural female subject, so estar is están.

Step 2: Analyze the adjective (from the word bank)

The picture for 24 shows two girls with flowers, looking happy. The adjective contento is masculine singular, so plural feminine contentas. But the word bank has contento (masculine singular). Wait, the word bank has enojada (feminine singular), but they are two, so enojadas? No, the picture shows them happy. Alternatively, están contentas (using contento as contentas for plural feminine). Or maybe están contentas (adjective agreement).

So:
Susana y Sarita están contentas (or están contentos if mixed, but they are both female, so contentas).

Question 25: Los hermanos

Step 1: Analyze the subject and verb form

Los hermanos is a plural male subject (brothers), so estar is están.

Step 2: Analyze the adjective (from the word bank)

The picture for 25 shows two people with crossed arms, looking angry. The adjective enojada is feminine singular, so plural masculine enojados. Wait, the word bank has enojada (feminine singular), but the subject is los hermanos (male plural), so enojados. So están enojados.

So:
