"Agustín, ¿por qué no fuiste a la escuela ayer?" "Porque el médico dijo que tuve una _____ leve con fiebre."

a. sangre
b. síntoma
c. mosca
d. infección

i'm confused between B and D , but i think D fits best

It IS D. A symptom does not mean anything is wrong.

Sra

To determine the correct answer, let's first understand the context of the sentence. Agustín didn't go to school because the doctor said he had a mild _____ with a fever.

Now let's analyze the options:

a. "sangre" means "blood" in English, but it doesn't match the context of having a mild _____ with a fever. So, we can eliminate this option.

b. "síntoma" means "symptom" in English, which refers to an indication or sign of an illness or condition. This option seems more appropriate since Agustín didn't go to school due to a medical condition.

c. "mosca" means "fly" in English, which doesn't make sense in this context. So, we can eliminate this option as well.

d. "infección" means "infection" in English, which could be a possible cause for Agustín's mild _____ with a fever. This option aligns with the context as well.

Based on the analysis, both options (b) "síntoma" and (d) "infección" could be plausible answers. However, "infección" is a more specific term that directly relates to a medical condition with symptoms, including a fever. Thus, the correct answer is (d) "infección."
