which of the following verb undergoes a stem change in the preterit?
empezar
querer
seguir
cerrar

inowalst · Answer

preterite means past tense. 
So its asking you, which word gets the original word changed in order to make the verb in past tense.

anonymous · Answer

Remember, only -ir verbs have stem changes in the preterite form. Therefore seguir would be the correct answer.
Seguir generally means to follow or to continue.

@Azzbad 

Why would it be "seguir" and not "querer"? 

Yo quise
Tu quisiste 
El quiso 
Nosotros quisimos 
Ellos quisieron

anonymous · Answer

On the other hand...

Yo seguí	
Tu seguiste	
El siguió	
Nosotros seguimos
Ellos siguieron

The only form of "seguir" that has a stem change is the (el/ella/usted) form.

anonymous · Answer

Every single form of "querer" has a stem change, in the preterite tense.
