Answer 1

Try to compare these two translations side by side, and you'll probably see how they match up:

Cuando vas a otro país necesitas pasar por la __________. Aquí ellos miran y revisan lo que
tienes para ver si tienes algo que no debes tener.

(When you go to another country, you need to pass by the ________. Here, they look at and inspect what you have, in order to see if you have something that you should not have.)

I have no idea what they want us to put in the blank.

It's asking us for a feminine noun.

I was thinking "metal detector," but that's "arco detector de metales."
That's a masculine noun.

And then I thought "security checkpoint." But that's "control de seguridad."
And that's also a masculine noun.
