    A. Jaune
    Explanation

    Correct Answer
    A. Blanche
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "blanche." In French, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "calculatrice" is a feminine singular noun, the adjective "blanche" also needs to be in its feminine singular form to agree with it. Therefore, "blanche" is the correct form of the adjective to use in this context.

    • Marrones

    Correct Answer
    A. Marron
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "marron." In French, "marron" is the singular form of the word, which means "brown." The other options, "marrons," "marrone," and "marrones," are either plural or do not exist in the French language. Therefore, "marron" is the correct form to describe "des stylos" (pens) in brown color.

    • Le livres

    • La livres

    • Des livres

    Correct Answer
    A. Des livres
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "des livres." This is because "les livres" means "the books" in French, whereas "des livres" means "some books" or "a few books." By replacing the definite article "les" with the indefinite article "des," the meaning of the phrase is changed from specific books to a more general or unspecified quantity of books.

    • Un pizza

    • Des pizzas

    Correct Answer
    A. Une pizza
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "une pizza" because "pizza" is a feminine noun in French and the indefinite article used before feminine nouns is "une".

    • Shorts

    Correct Answer
    A. Tee-shirt
    Explanation
    The person did not want to buy a tee-shirt. The question states that they want to buy brown pants, an orange sweater, and gray shorts, but it does not mention anything about wanting to buy a tee-shirt. Therefore, the correct answer is tee-shirt.

    Correct Answer
    A. Des
    Explanation
    In this sentence, the word "cahiers" is plural, indicating that there is more than one notebook. The indefinite article "des" is used before plural nouns in French, so the correct answer is "des." This article is used to indicate an unspecified or indefinite quantity of the noun.
