Question 1 Report

For each question, choose from the options lettered A-E, the most appropriate one to complete the sentence
fille est gentile.
Answer Details

In French, articles and demonstrative adjectives must agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify. Let's examine the options:


1. "Cet": This is a masculine singular demonstrative adjective used before a vowel sound (e.g., "cet homme" meaning "this man"). It cannot be used with "fille" as "fille" is feminine.


2. "Cette": This is a feminine singular demonstrative adjective, used before a noun that is feminine. Since "fille" means "girl" and is a feminine noun, the correct demonstrative adjective to use is "cette." So, "cette fille" means "this girl."


3. "Ces": This is the plural form of the demonstrative adjective, used for both masculine and feminine plural nouns (e.g., "ces enfants" meaning "these children"). It does not apply here as "fille" is singular.


4. "Ce": This is a masculine singular demonstrative adjective, used before consonant sounds (e.g., "ce garçon" meaning "this boy"). It cannot be used with "fille" as "fille" is feminine.


Therefore, the most appropriate option to complete the sentence "fille est gentille" is "Cette." The complete sentence would be "Cette fille est gentille," which translates to "This girl is kind."
