- B.
  
  Je hebt geblafd
- C.
  
  Je bent geblafft
Correct Answer
A. Je hebt geblaft

Explanation

Translate 'We have burned'. (branden)
- A.
  
  We hebben gebrandd
- B.
  
  We hebben gebrand
- C.
  
  We zijn gebrand
Correct Answer
B. We hebben gebrand

Explanation
The correct answer is "We hebben gebrand". This is the correct translation of the phrase "We have burned" in Dutch. The verb "hebben" means "to have" and "gebrand" is the past participle form of the verb "branden" which means "to burn". So, when combined, "We hebben gebrand" translates accurately to "We have burned".

Translate 'it has snowed'. (zaaien)
- A.
  
  Het heeft gezaaid
- B.
  
  Het heeft gezaaied
- C.
  
  Het is gezaaid
Correct Answer
A. Het heeft gezaaid

Explanation
The correct answer is "Het heeft gezaaid." In Dutch, the verb "zaaien" means "to sow" or "to plant seeds." The sentence "Het heeft gezaaid" translates to "it has sown" or "it has planted seeds." This indicates that the action of sowing or planting seeds has been completed in the past. The use of "heeft" (has) indicates the presence of the auxiliary verb "hebben" (to have) in the perfect tense.

Translate 'I have grown'. (groeien)
- A.
  
  Ik heb gegroeit
- B.
  
  Ik heb gegroeid
- C.
  
  Ik ben gegroeid
Correct Answer
C. Ik ben gegroeid

Explanation
The correct answer is "Ik ben gegroeid". In Dutch, the verb "groeien" (to grow) is an intransitive verb, which means it does not take a direct object. In this case, "I" is the subject of the sentence, and "groeid" or "gegroeit" are incorrect verb forms. The correct form is "ben gegroeid" which means "I have grown" in English.

Translate 'you (plural) have made'. (maken)
- A.
  
  Jullie zijn gemaakt
- B.
  
  Jullie hebben gemaakt
- C.
  
  Jullie hebben gemaakd
Correct Answer
B. Jullie hebben gemaakt

Explanation
The correct answer is "Jullie hebben gemaakt." This is the correct translation for "you (plural) have made." The verb "hebben" means "have" and "gemaakt" means "made." Therefore, "Jullie hebben gemaakt" accurately translates the given phrase.
