1. Which of the following brings on the subjunctive?

Explanation

The phrase "Espero que" brings on the subjunctive because it expresses a desire or hope for something that may or may not happen. The subjunctive is used to convey uncertainty or unreality, which is appropriate in this context. The other two options, "Habla" and "Estudia," do not require the subjunctive because they are indicative statements, expressing facts or actions that are certain or real.
