5. In which Spanish-speaking country is vosotros/as used?

Explanation

In Spain, the pronoun "vosotros/as" is used. This pronoun is the plural form of "you" and is used when addressing a group of people informally. In other Spanish-speaking countries like Mexico, Guatemala, and Cuba, the pronoun "ustedes" is used instead. "Ustedes" is the formal plural form of "you" and is used in both formal and informal situations. Therefore, the correct answer is Spain.

Submit
7. How many males are required for the subject to turn to masculine? For example, ellos vs. ellas 

Explanation

The subject can turn to masculine with just one male. This means that even if there is only one male in the group, the subject will be considered masculine. It is not necessary for males to outnumber females or for males to be at least half of the group. As long as there is at least one male, the subject will be masculine.

Submit

Therefore, the pronoun "nosotros" is the appropriate choice to substitute for "Alejandro y yo".
