The direct translation of &#8220;cintura&#8221; is &#8220;waist.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further confirm this, we can translate the entire sentence for context. The sentence &#8220;Ella tiene una cintura muy peque\u00f1a&#8221; translates to &#8220;She has a very small waist.&#8221; Let&#8217;s break down the sentence to understand each component. &#8220;Ella&#8221; is the Spanish pronoun for &#8220;she.&#8221; &#8220;Tiene&#8221; is the third person singular conjugation of the verb &#8220;tener,&#8221; meaning &#8220;to have.&#8221; &#8220;Una&#8221; is the feminine singular indefinite article, which means &#8220;a.&#8221; The word &#8220;muy&#8221; is an adverb that means &#8220;very,&#8221; and &#8220;peque\u00f1a&#8221; is the feminine form of the adjective for &#8220;small.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Spanish, nouns have gender. &#8220;Cintura&#8221; is a feminine noun, which is why the article &#8220;una&#8221; and the adjective &#8220;peque\u00f1a&#8221; are also in their feminine forms to agree with it. This grammatical consistency helps confirm that &#8220;cintura&#8221; is the noun being described.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examining the other options shows why they are incorrect. The Spanish word for &#8220;eyebrow&#8221; is &#8220;ceja.&#8221; The word for &#8220;cheek&#8221; is &#8220;mejilla.&#8221; The term for &#8220;toe&#8221; is &#8220;dedo del pie.&#8221; None of these words match the underlined word in the sentence. Therefore, based on direct vocabulary knowledge and the contextual clues provided by the sentence, &#8220;waist&#8221; is the only correct translation for &#8220;cintura&#8221; among the given choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/learnexams-banner5-44.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-278309\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: The correct answer is&nbsp;waist.
