The exercise requires substituting the compound subject, &#8220;Mi prima y yo&#8221; (My cousin and I), with the single subject pronoun that represents it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Spanish, the subject pronoun for &#8220;we&#8221; can be either &#8220;nosotros&#8221; or &#8220;nosotras.&#8221; The choice is determined by the gender of the people making up the group. &#8220;Nosotros&#8221; is used when the group is composed of all males or a mix of males and females. &#8220;Nosotras&#8221; is used only when the group is composed entirely of females.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the phrase &#8220;Mi prima y yo,&#8221; we can identify one member of the group, &#8220;mi prima,&#8221; as female. However, the gender of &#8220;yo&#8221; (I\/me) is unknown from the sentence alone. If the person speaking (&#8220;yo&#8221;) is male, the group is mixed-gender (one female, one male), and the correct pronoun is &#8220;nosotros.&#8221; If the person speaking is female, the group is all-female, and the correct pronoun would be &#8220;nosotras.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without additional context to specify the speaker&#8217;s gender, the standard convention in Spanish is to use the masculine form &#8220;nosotros&#8221; as the default or inclusive pronoun for a group of unknown or mixed gender. Therefore, &#8220;Nosotros&#8221; is the most universally correct answer for this exercise. The new sentence, &#8220;Nosotros tenemos doce a\u00f1os,&#8221; correctly uses the first-person plural pronoun that aligns with the verb conjugation &#8220;tenemos&#8221; (we have), perfectly preserving the original meaning of the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner6-2694.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-277188\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: Correct Answer:&nbsp;Nosotros The correct answer to fill in the blank is the Spanish pronoun &#8220;Nosotros.&#8221; The original sentence, &#8220;Mi prima y yo tenemos doce a\u00f1os,&#8221; translates to &#8220;My cousin and I are twelve years old.&#8221; This sentence is grammatically complete and correct.
