This is a conversation between two people. Take a look at the first sentence: "¿Invitó a ustedes también?" It means.... "Did he invite you (plural) too?" Remember from our earlier notes today, "Ustedes" is the plural form of "you."
So, the person who replied has to say "Yes, he invited us." Because first person said "ustedes." The first person was talking to more than one other person.

Whenever we're talking about things that we like to do, we need to use an infinitive. D was "saltar," which is an infinitive. I'll tell you right now: Infinitive verbs end with the letter R. `

This is a conversation between two groups of people. ~~~~~~~~~~ Let's look at the first blank. This is the first person talking: "¿Qué _____ parece a ustedes?" "How does it appear to you?" LES does go in the first blank, because the keyword is "ustedes." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let's look at the second blank. This is a response, from the second group of people: —"_____ parece muy original" NOS does go in this blank, because the second group is trying to say..."It appears to US very original." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let's look at the third blank: "y la _____." This is still the second group of people talking. And they're trying to say...."And we recommend it." We have to use the "nosotros" form of "recomendar." And that is "recomendamos."
I admit you were very close. The first two blanks were right. It was just the third blank that was wrong.
so B
Yes it is B. Listen, I've gotta go now, I'm sorry. You and I can continue with our tutoring session tomorrow. I'm going to send you a private message about "cognates." Spanish adjectives that sound almost like English words. It'll be very easy.
