The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the Duolingo exercise provided in the image, the correct answer is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renato pasa una semana en Francia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This translation is a direct and grammatically correct construction using the words available in the word bank. Here is a detailed breakdown of how we arrive at this answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, let’s analyze the English sentence: “Renato is spending a week in France.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Renato<\/strong>: This is a proper name and remains the same in Spanish. The word\u00a0Renato\u00a0is available in the word bank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. “is spending”<\/strong>: This is the most important part of the translation. In English, we use the present progressive tense (“is spending”) for an action happening over a period of time. In Spanish, while a direct equivalent exists (est\u00e1 pasando<\/em>), it is very common and often more natural to use the simple present tense for plans or actions that span a duration, like a trip. The verb “to spend” (time) is\u00a0pasar<\/em>. The word bank provides\u00a0pasa, which is the correct third-person singular present tense conjugation for Renato (he spends).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. “a week”<\/strong>: The word for “week” in Spanish is\u00a0semana<\/em>. Nouns in Spanish have a gender, and\u00a0semana<\/em>\u00a0is a feminine noun. Therefore, it needs the feminine indefinite article “a,” which is\u00a0una. Both\u00a0una\u00a0and\u00a0semana\u00a0are in the word bank. Using the masculine article\u00a0un<\/em>\u00a0would be incorrect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. “in France”<\/strong>: The preposition “in” translates to\u00a0en, and “France” is\u00a0Francia\u00a0in Spanish. Both of these words are provided.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Assembling these pieces in the correct order gives us the final sentence: Renato pasa una semana en Francia.<\/strong> The sentence structure (Subject + Verb + Time Duration + Location) is logical and follows standard Spanish grammar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The other words in the bank, domingo (Sunday), s\u00e1bado (Saturday), f\u00e1brica (factory), and ella (she), are distractors intended to test your vocabulary and understanding of the sentence’s meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
