Which ones do you think best?
=====================
Thank you for your help.
I think #2 is suitable.
All of them are suitable. But since the garden belongs to the man, 2 and 4 are best.
To determine which answer is suitable for the question, we need to analyze the given statement: "The man said, 'I want you to weed this garden.'"
The key information in the statement is that the man wants Francisco and his grandpa to weed the garden.
Now let's examine the answer choices:
1. He wanted them to weed a garden. This answer is not suitable because the man specifies a particular garden by using the word "this."
2. He wanted them to weed the garden. This answer is suitable because it correctly reflects the man's request to weed the garden, without specifying whose garden it is.
3. He wanted them to weed this garden. This answer is also suitable because it accurately includes the word "this" used by the man to refer to the specific garden.
4. He wanted them to weed his garden. This answer is suitable because it indicates that the garden belongs to the man.
5. He wanted them to weed that garden. This answer is not suitable because the man uses the word "this," not "that," to refer to the garden.
Therefore, the suitable answers for the question "What did the man want Francisco and his grandpa to do?" are options 2, 3, and 4. You correctly identified option 2 as suitable, but options 3 and 4 are also valid.
