Question

Me gusta esta clase. ¿Cuál prefieres tú?

Yo prefiero ésa.

Yo prefiero aquél.

Yo prefiero aquella.

Yo prefiero esta.

Answer 1

Confused with this. I would have thought the answer would be 'yo prefiero esta' (with an accent over the a in esta) but that's not an option. So....any ideas?

Answer 2

srry
i have no idea

Answer 3

C

Answer 4

Explanation? (sorry, I just like to double-check the reasoning...)

Answer 5

Because C seems to be the least likely response in my opinion - there's no accent mark to make it a reflexive pronoun

Answer 6

My bad its A...because its say they like that class...

Answer 7

Ah, see. That makes more sense. :)

Thank you! :D

Answer 8

no problem :D

Answer 9

Hello there!
Sorry to say this... :(
But really, if I may... it should be C.

In fact, this is because of a spelling rule, which says *este, ese, aquel* and all of their variants (feminine and plural included) are never accented.

Well, I hope this helps in some way! =)
Blessings

Answer 10

That's actually a quite recent spelling rule (I think it didn't exist 5 years ago), but indeed:

Este es mejor. --> pronoun has no accent
Este libro es mejor. --> adjective has no accent either

Answer 12

Hi again, @HourglassMage !
I just thought I'd add a link explaining this spelling rule:

You'll find that info included in the "Note" at the end of the page!
Hope it helped! :)

Answer 13

A was correct, I already submitted the quiz

But thank you for the detailed replies! I use StudySpanish all the time - it's very helpful. :D

Answer 14

You need the accent mark because it's standing in for the direct object. Although, I'm still not quite sure why B wouldn't work...I suppose the meaning of aquel is too different from the meaning of esta. Either way, got it right, so I suppose it doesn't matter.
