To complete the paragraph with the appropriate definite articles, you need to determine the gender and number of each noun in order to choose the correct form of the definite article.
1) In the phrase "señora López," "señora" is a feminine singular noun, so the definite article "la" should be used.
2) In the phrase "nueva profesora," "nueva" is the feminine singular form of the adjective "new," and "profesora" is a feminine singular noun, so the definite article "la" should be used.
3) In the phrase "este conductor," "este" is the masculine singular form of the adjective "this," and "conductor" is a masculine singular noun, so the definite article "el" should be used.
4) In the phrase "los pasajeros," "los" is the masculine plural form of the definite article "the," and "pasajeros" is a masculine plural noun, so the definite article "los" should be used.
5) In the phrase "los documentos," "los" is the masculine plural form of the definite article "the," and "documentos" is a masculine plural noun, so the definite article "los" should be used.
6) In the phrase "las maletas," "las" is the feminine plural form of the definite article "the," and "maletas" is a feminine plural noun, so the definite article "las" should be used.
