Question

select the correct answer.
which verb form correctly completes this sentence?
es importante que ______ muchas frutas y verduras todos los días.
a. como
b. comen
c. comemos
d. comamos

Explanation:

In Spanish, the structure "Es importante que" requires the subjunctive mood. The subject here is implied to be "nosotros" (we), and the subjunctive form of "comer" for "nosotros" is "comamos". Let's analyze the options:

• Option A: "como" is the indicative (yo) form or a preposition, not subjunctive for "nosotros".
• Option B: "comen" is the indicative (ellos/ellas/ustedes) form, not for "nosotros" or subjunctive.
• Option C: "comemos" is the indicative (nosotros) form, but we need subjunctive here.
• Option D: "comamos" is the subjunctive (nosotros) form of "comer", which fits the "Es importante que" structure.

Answer:

D. comamos
