Question

select the correct answer.
which verb best completes this sentence?
para cocinar el pollo, tienes que ______ en agua por veinte minutos.
a. freírlo
b. hervirlo
c. mezclarlo
d. verterlo

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "freírlo" means "to fry it". Frying is not done in water, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: "hervirlo" means "to boil it". Boiling chicken in water for 20 minutes is a common cooking method, so this fits.
• Option C: "mezclarlo" means "to mix it". Mixing chicken in water doesn't make sense for cooking, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: "verterlo" means "to pour it". Pouring chicken in water isn't a cooking action, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. hervirlo
