The question is asking about the response given by "Uds." (which stands for "ustedes," meaning "you all") after hearing a comment about the new movie. The blank space needs to be filled in with the appropriate form of the verb "decir" (to say/tell) to complete the sentence correctly.
Let's take a look at each answer choice and its meaning:
a. "dijimos" - This is the preterite tense conjugation of the verb "decir" for the subject "nosotros" (we). It means "we said."
b. "decimos" - This is the present tense conjugation of the verb "decir" for the subject "nosotros" (we). It means "we say." However, the sentence is referring to a past event, so this verb form is not appropriate.
c. "decíamos" - This is the imperfect tense conjugation of the verb "decir" for the subject "nosotros" (we). It means "we used to say" or "we were saying." Again, the sentence is referring to a specific event in the past, so this verb form is not the best choice either.
d. "dijeron" - This is the preterite tense conjugation of the verb "decir" for the subject "ellos/ellas/ustedes" (they/you all). It means "they/you all said."
In this case, since the question mentions "Uds." (ustedes), which is the formal form of "you all," the correct answer is d. "dijeron" because it matches the subject and tense, expressing the idea that "they/you all said" that the announcer was right.
So, the correct answer is d. "dijeron" because it matches the subject ("Uds.") and expresses the past action mentioned in the question.
