    Explanation
    The correct answer is "come" because it matches the subject "mi esposo" (my husband) in the present tense. In Spanish, when referring to the third person singular (he/she/it), the verb form ends in "-e" in the present tense.

    Mis primos ______________ (nadar) en la alberca.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "nadan" because it is the correct conjugation of the verb "nadar" in the present tense for the subject "mis primos". In Spanish, when the subject is plural (like "mis primos" which means "my cousins"), the verb also needs to be in plural form. Therefore, "nadan" is the correct form of the verb for this sentence, meaning "my cousins swim in the pool."
