Ha

Correct Answer
A. E`Explanation
The correct answer is "e`". In Italian, the verb "essere" is used to indicate a state of being or to describe someone or something. In this sentence, "e`" is the correct form of the verb "essere" conjugated for the third person singular (he/she/it is). Therefore, the sentence translates to "Roberta is very nice."Rate this question:

-
Spiritosa -estroversa
-
Spiritosissimo - estroversa
-
Spiritosi - estroverse
-
Spiritoso - estroversa
Correct Answer
A. Spiritoso - estroversaExplanation
The correct answer is "spiritoso - estroversa". In Italian, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "papa`" (dad) is a masculine singular noun, the adjective "spiritoso" (funny) must also be masculine and singular. On the other hand, "mamma" (mom) is a feminine singular noun, so the adjective "estroversa" (outgoing) must be feminine and singular.Rate this question:

This is because the phrase "sono simpatici" means "they are nice" or "they are likable," and the subject of the sentence is "i miei professori," which translates to "my professors." Therefore, the sentence is saying "my professors are nice."Rate this question:
