Choose the correct form of ser to complete the sentence.Ella ____________ muy alta
Correct Answer
B. Es
Explanation
The correct answer is "es". In Spanish, the verb "ser" is used to indicate a permanent or long-lasting state or characteristic. In this sentence, "Ella" is a singular feminine subject, so we need to use the third person singular form of the verb "ser", which is "es". The adjective "muy alta" agrees with the subject and means "very tall". Therefore, the correct form of "ser" to complete the sentence is "es".

The correct answer is "somos" because "nosotros" is the subject pronoun for "we" in Spanish, and "estudiantes de la Universidad" means "students of the University." Therefore, the correct form of the verb "ser" to match the subject "we" and the noun "students" is "somos," which means "we are."
