To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the grammatical rules regarding the gender and number agreement between nouns and articles in Spanish.
In the given sentence, the phrase "¿Traes los papeles de la oficina?" means "Are you bringing the papers from the office?". The noun in question is "papeles" (papers), which is plural, and the article used is "los" (the), which is also plural.
Now let's analyze the second part of the sentence: "Aquí _____ tienes" (Here _____ you have). In this case, we are referring to the papers, which are plural, and we need to use an article that agrees in gender and number.
Considering the options provided:
a. "las" is the feminine plural article, so we can discard it because "papeles" is a masculine noun.
b. "los" is the masculine plural article, and it matches the gender and number of "papeles." This option is a possibility.
c. "lo" is the singular masculine article, so we can discard it because "papeles" is plural.
d. "la" is the singular feminine article, so we can discard it since "papeles" is a masculine noun.
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is b. "los." Therefore, the complete sentence is "Sí. Aquí los tienes." which translates to "Yes. Here you have them."
