Question

select the correct answer.
which phrase correctly completes this sentence?
yo ________ en la casa de mi abuela porque ella hacía una comida deliciosa.
a. siempre comía
b. nunca comía
c. frecuentemente comiste
d. a veces vivía

Explanation:

1. Analyze the subject and verb agreement: The subject is "Yo" (I), so the verb should be in the first - person singular form of the imperfect tense.

• Option C: "comiste" is the second - person singular (tú) form of the preterite tense, so it is incorrect.
• Option D: The context is about eating (comer), not living (vivir), so "vivía" is semantically incorrect.

1. Analyze the meaning of the adverbs and the context: The reason given is "porque ella hacía una comida deliciosa" (because she made delicious food). So the action of eating at grandma's house should be a frequent action.

• Option A: "siempre comía" means "I always ate" (imperfect tense, first - person singular), which fits the context of a repeated action in the past and the positive reason (delicious food).
• Option B: "nunca comía" means "I never ate", which contradicts the reason given (delicious food).

Answer:

A. siempre comía
