Answer 1

Answer:

The verb form that correctly completes the conversation is:

• C. Compré.

- Pedro: ¿Qué libro compraste en la librería?

- Luis: Yo compré un libro de historias de ficción.

Explanation:

The translation of the sentences in the conversation are:

- Pedro: What book did you buy in the bookstore?

- Luis: I bought a book of fiction stories.

The verb "comprar" conjugated in Simple Past depends on the personal pronoun that modifies its conjugation, to understand this, next I will show you the possible conjugations depending on the personal pronoun that is used:

• Yo compré.
• Tú compraste.
• Él compró.
• Ella compró.
• Ello compró.
• Nosotros compramos.
• Ellos compraron.

As you can see, despite the multiple forms that the verb can have in the simple past, the conjugation that applies to the personal pronoun "yo" is "compré".
