Thanks SraJMcGin.

the first one is B. The second one is D the third one is C

No worries! I can help explain the answers to you.

1. The correct answer is B. conservar. The phrase "Hay que" means "One must" or "We must," and it is followed by an infinitive verb in Spanish. To express the concept of "must preserve water," we would use the infinitive form of the verb "conservar," which means "to conserve."

2. The correct answer is D. apaga. In this sentence, the phrase "Por favor" (which means "please") indicates a request. We use the command form of the verb "apagar," which means "to turn off." In the command form, we conjugate the verb to match the subject "you" (tú) implied in the sentence. "Apaga" is the command form of "apagar" for "you."

3. The correct answer is A. sepáralas. The question "¿Debo separar el vidrio y el aluminio?" (Should I separate the glass and the aluminum?) is asking whether you should separate plural objects: glass (vidrio) and aluminum (aluminio). To answer this question, you would use the affirmative command form of the verb "separar" (to separate) for the plural objects. The pronoun "las" refers to the objects "vidrio" (glass) and "aluminio" (aluminum), so the correct answer is "sepáralas" (separate them).

Remember, understanding the grammar rules behind these questions will help you to compose your own sentences correctly.
