I'll send this to our Spanish expert, SraJMcGin.

6. Your answer is incorrect and here is why. The subject is plural = Claudia y María = Ellas, or 3rd person plural. The verb must also be 3rd person plural. Here are the forms of ser:

lst person singular = soy (yo)
2nd person singular = eres (tú)
3rd person singular = es (él/ella/usted)

lst person plural = somos (nosotros/-as)
2nd person plural = sois (vosotros/-as)
3rd person plural = SON (ellos/ellas/ustedes)

Your answer must be SON.

I'll flag this and come back later to see if you have any questions.

To determine the correct answers, let's analyze the verb conjugations and the subject of each sentence:

6) In the sentence "Claudia y María ____________________ de México," the subjects are "Claudia y María," which is plural, so we need the correct form of the verb for a plural subject. The possible options are "Somos," "Eres," "Son," and "Es." You mentioned that the answer is not "Son" or "Somos." Since "Claudia y María" is a plural subject, the correct answer would be "Son." Therefore, the correct answer is not "Es," but "Son."

9) In the sentence "Nosotros ____________________ mexicanos," the subject is "Nosotros," which is the first-person plural form, so we need the correct form of the verb for the first-person plural subject. The possible options are "Soy," "Eres," "Es," "Somos," and "Son." You mentioned that the answer is not "Son," "Soy," or "Somos." Since "Nosotros" is a first-person plural subject, the correct answer would be "Somos." Therefore, the correct answer is not "Eres," but "Somos."

So, the correct answers are "Son" for the first sentence and "Somos" for the second sentence.
