To find the correct answer, you need to understand the question being asked and the options given.
The question is asking why Raúl is using crutches.
Option A, "me caí," translates to "I fell." If Raúl fell and hurt his ankle, it would make sense for him to use crutches, so this option could be correct.
Option B, "me protegí," translates to "I protected myself." This option doesn't indicate any injury or accident that would require the use of crutches, so it is not the correct answer in this context.
Option C, "me corté," translates to "I cut myself." This option also doesn't suggest an injury or accident involving the ankle, so it is unlikely to be the correct answer.
Option D, "me quemé," translates to "I burned myself." Like option C, this option doesn't relate to an injury involving the ankle, so it is not the correct answer.
Based on the options provided, it is most likely that the correct answer is A, "me caí," meaning "I fell." Falling and injuring his ankle would explain why Raúl is using crutches.
