To determine the odd one out among the given options, we need to understand the meanings of each word in the context of their usage related to "L'école," which means "School" in French. Here's a brief explanation:

• L'ecole: School
• Un crayon: A pencil (A common item used in a school setting for writing.)
• Une fourchette: A fork (A utensil primarily used for eating and not commonly associated with school activities.)
• Un cahier: A notebook (Another common item used in schools for taking notes.)
• Un tableau: A blackboard or whiteboard (A tool you find in classrooms for educators to present information.)

The odd one out is "Une fourchette." The reason is that it is a kitchen utensil used for eating and is not directly related to school supplies or activities, unlike the other items listed which are typically found in a school environment.

In the context of the question, when two people get married, the term that accurately describes this event is a marriage. A marriage is a formal union recognized by law, where two individuals usually vow to live together in a committed relationship. The other options listed do not correctly fit the scenario:

• Baptême: This is a baptism, a religious ceremony signifying spiritual cleansing and rebirth, not associated with people getting married.
• Accident: This refers to an unexpected and typically negative event, unrelated to marriage.
• Mort: This means death, which is unrelated to the concept of marriage.

Therefore, the correct option to describe the event when two people marry is mariage.

This question requires us to determine which French term best completes the sentence "Les vétements." To do so, we need to understand what "Les vétements" means in English.

"Les vêtements" means "clothing" or "clothes." Therefore, we need an option that relates to clothing.

• Le chapeau: This means "the hat." Hats are types of clothing accessories that people wear on their heads.
• Le bic: This means "the pen." Pens are writing implements and are not related to clothing.
• La robe: This means "the dress." Dresses are garments or articles of clothing.
• La ceinture: This means "the belt." Belts are accessories used to style clothes or hold pants and skirts in place.

Out of all these options, "Le chapeau," "La robe," and "La ceinture" are related to clothing. However, if your context is specifically referring to an article of clothing (and not an accessory like "Le chapeau" or "La ceinture"), then La robe (the dress) would directly fit the "Les vêtements" category as it is an actual garment.

Therefore, the most suitable choice from the given options to complete the sentence "Les vêtements" would be La robe.

The sentence "Tu préfères chemise?" in English means "Do you prefer the shirt?" To complete this sentence, it's important to focus on grammatical agreement in French.

Firstly, the word "chemise" is a noun in French that is feminine and singular. When using interrogative pronouns in French to ask "which" or "what," you must match the pronoun to the gender and number of the noun it refers to.

In this context:

• "Que" is generally used to mean "what," but it is not used to directly modify nouns (it doesn't agree with gender or number).
• "Quelle" is the feminine singular interrogative pronoun meaning "which" or "what" for feminine singular nouns, making it the most suitable option for the feminine singular noun "chemise".
• "Quelles" is used for feminine plural nouns, which is inappropriate here since "chemise" is singular.
• "Quells" does not exist in French so it is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct option to complete the sentence is "quelle". The completed sentence would be "Tu préfères quelle chemise?", which translates to "Which shirt do you prefer?" in English.

To find the correct word that completes the sentence "Voilà man parapluie et voilà........ma soeur," it is important to understand how demonstrative pronouns are used in French, especially in distinguishing gender and number.

The phrase "Voilà mon parapluie" translates to "There is my umbrella" and "Voilà............ma soeur" translates to "There is...........my sister."

The word "parapluie" (umbrella) is masculine, which is correctly complemented with "mon." The options are related to the second part of the sentence "Voilà...........ma soeur," which involves identifying the demonstrative pronoun correctly matching "ma soeur" (my sister).

Here is a simple breakdown:

1. Masculine Demonstrative Pronouns:

• celui - Used for singular masculine nouns.

2. Feminine Demonstrative Pronouns:

• celle - Used for singular feminine nouns.
• celle-là - Form of "celle" with emphasis: Used for singular feminine nouns, often to imply a distinction.

3. Plural Demonstrative Pronoun:

• celles - Used for plural feminine nouns.

Since "soeur" is feminine and singular, the correct demonstrative pronoun is "celle." Therefore, the sentence should be completed as "Voilà mon parapluie et voilà celle ma soeur," indicating "there is my umbrella and there is the one my sister."

In conclusion, the correct choice is "celle" because it is the singular feminine demonstrative pronoun that corresponds appropriately with "my sister."

A person who is just follows and upholds the principles of justice. This means that they act in a fair and equitable manner, adhering to moral and legal standards. When we talk about someone's relationship with justice, the most suitable action they would take is to respect it. To respect justice means that the person abides by the rules and principles that ensure fairness and equal treatment for all. Therefore, the correct option is that a just person respects justice.

The given sentence is in French, and it translates to: "Is Maman coming back from the city? Who is coming back?" The phrase "Qu..... en revient" is asking for the pronoun that refers back to "Maman" in this context. Here is the breakdown:

1. **Maman** is a feminine singular noun in French, referring to a person, specifically "Mom" or "Mother." The pronoun used should match the gender and number of "Maman".

2. **Elle** is the correct choice because "elle" is a singular feminine pronoun in French, which means "she" in English. This appropriately refers back to "Maman."

3. The other options do not appropriately match the criteria:

• Ils is a plural masculine pronoun, meaning "they" in English. It doesn't fit here because "Maman" is singular and feminine.
• Oil is not any recognized French pronoun.
• Nous is a plural pronoun, meaning "we" in English, and does not match the singular reference.

Therefore, the sentence should be completed as "Quelle en revient?" where "elle" appropriately refers to "Maman." The correct completion is with the pronoun **elle**.

In the French language, articles change based on the gender and the beginning letter of the noun they accompany. Let's see which article fits with each of the nouns provided:

1. Hôpital: The word "hôpital" begins with a silent 'h' and is masculine. Therefore, the correct article is "à l'" because "hôpital" starts with a vowel sound. Hence, "à l'hôpital" is correct.

2. École: The word "école" is feminine, and since it begins with a vowel sound, the correct article is also "à l'" resulting in "à l'école".

3. Maison: The word "maison" is feminine and begins with a consonant. Therefore, the correct feminine article is "à la", making "à la maison" correct.

4. Cinéma: The word "cinéma" is masculine and starts with a consonant. Therefore, the correct article is "au" (a contraction of "à le"), which gives us "au cinéma".

Since the statement is "J'ai de la fièvre", going to a place typically associated with medical attention is logical. Among the options, "hôpital" is the appropriate choice. Thus, the correct article and noun combination is "à l'hôpital", meaning "I have a fever. I am going to the hospital."

In the given list, the term "Les vêtements" means "clothing" in English. The items being considered are related to clothing, except for one.

Une cravat (a tie), Un pantalon (a pair of pants), and Une chemise (a shirt) are all clothing items. These items can be worn and are articles of clothing.

Un livre, which translates to "a book," is the odd one out of the options. It is not a clothing item but rather an object for reading. It serves a different function than the other items listed, which are meant for wearing.

To determine the appropriate completion of the sentence "Les couleurs ...", we need to analyze the meaning of each provided word and consider the context in which "Les couleurs" is used.

The phrase "Les couleurs" translates to "The colors" in English. Therefore, we are referring to colors.

Let's evaluate each option:

• Blanc: This is the French word for "White" and it fits well with the phrase "Les couleurs" as it is a type of color.
• Jaune: This is the French word for "Yellow" and it also fits well with "Les couleurs" because it represents a different color.
• Orange: This is both a French word for a color (orange) and a fruit. In this context, it fits as it is also a color.
• Jour: This translates to "Day" in English, which is not a color and therefore does not fit well with the theme of "Les couleurs".

The correct completion of the sentence with respect to the context of "Les couleurs" is related to identifying an actual color. While Blanc, Jaune, and Orange all fit, "Jour" does not. It refers to a time of day, not a color, and is therefore not appropriate for the sentence.

Thus, the sentence "Les couleurs" should appropriately be completed with any of the actual color words such as "Blanc", "Jaune", or "Orange" but definitely not "Jour".

In the context of the question "Less.......permettent de voir," which translates to "The......allow to see," we need to determine which part of the body is used for seeing. The goal here is to identify the body part that is directly associated with vision or sight.

Let's examine each option:

• Yeux (eyes): These are the organs specifically used for sight. They allow us to see things around us by capturing light and sending visual information to the brain.
• Dents (teeth): These are not related to seeing. They are used for biting and chewing food.
• Oreilles (ears): These are used for hearing and are not associated with vision.
• Lèvres (lips): These are not used for seeing. They are involved in speaking and eating.

In conclusion, the appropriate choice is yeux because they are the part of the body that allows us to see.

In the given list of French words, we have:

• Le jus de fruit
• L'huile de palme
• Le jus d'orange
• Le vin

These words translate to the following in English:

• Le jus de fruit - Fruit juice
• L'huile de palme - Palm oil
• Le jus d'orange - Orange juice
• Le vin - Wine

The phrase "Les boissons" translates to "The beverages or drinks" in English. Among the options, three items are classified as drinks:

• Le jus de fruit - A drink made from various fruits
• Le jus d'orange - A drink made from oranges
• Le vin - An alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes

On the other hand, L'huile de palme is not a drink. It is an oil derived from the fruit of oil palms and is commonly used for cooking and manufacturing and not typically consumed as a beverage.

Thus, the odd one out is L'huile de palme, which is not a drink.

In the given sentence, "Au Nigéria, la plupart des pécheurs (vivre) au bord des fleuves," we need to choose the correct form of the verb "vivre" (to live) to complete the sentence. The subject here is "la plupart des pêcheurs," which translates to "most of the fishermen." This subject indicates that we are dealing with a plural form, since "most of the fishermen" refers to more than one person. Therefore, we must choose the verb form that matches a plural subject.

In French, the verb "vivre" is conjugated as follows:

• je vis (I live)
• tu vis (you live)
• il/elle/on vit (he/she/one lives)
• nous vivons (we live)
• vous vivez (you all live)
• ils/elles vivent (they live)

Given that "la plupart des pêcheurs" is plural, the correct conjugation for "vivre" in this context is "vivent."

Thus, the completed sentence is: "Au Nigéria, la plupart des pécheurs vivent au bord des fleuves."

The correct choice is country. Therefore, the statement should be: "Le Bénin est un pays d'Afrique occidentale." Here's why:

Explanation:

• Country: A country is a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory. Benin is recognized as an independent nation in West Africa.
• Continent: A continent is a large continuous mass of land conventionally regarded as a collective region. Africa is the continent; Benin is a part of it, not the entire continent itself.
• Village: A village is a small community or group of houses in a rural area. Benin is much larger than a village; it is an entire country comprising many cities and villages.
• Eat: While 'eat' is a verb referring to the act of consuming food, it does not describe or categorize Benin, as it has no relation to the geographical or political status of Benin.

The term used, "pays", is the French word for country, fitting the context of the sentence as it accurately describes Benin's status as a country in West Africa.

To determine the correct word to use in this sentence, we need to understand the French grammatical concept of agreement. In French, adjectives and pronouns must agree in gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) with the nouns they refer to.

The noun "jours" is **plural** and **masculine**. In French, the word "jours" means "days". Therefore, we need a pronoun or adjective that matches both the plural and masculine form.

Let's examine each option:

• **Toute**: Feminine singular, not suitable as "jours" is masculine plural.
• **Tout**: Masculine singular, not suitable as "jours" is plural.
• **Toutes**: Feminine plural, not suitable as "jours" is masculine.
• **Tous**: Masculine plural, this is the correct form for "jours".

Therefore, the sentence should be completed as: "C'est la saison sèche, le soleil brille tous les jours."

In any situation where a theft occurs, it is important to contact the authority responsible for maintaining law, order, and safety. This organization is typically involved in handling crimes, ensuring public security, and investigating illegal activities. From the options provided:

• Maçons are masons, individuals who work with building materials like stone and brick. They are not responsible for handling theft cases.
• Marchands are merchants or traders who buy and sell goods. They are not involved in crime prevention or investigation.
• Avocats are lawyers who provide legal advice and represent clients in legal matters, but they are not the primary contact for reporting a theft.
• Policiers are police officers. They are responsible for maintaining public safety and security, investigating crimes, and responding to incidents like theft.

Therefore, in case of theft, it is necessary to phone the police officers - policiers, as they are equipped to handle and investigate such incidents.

The question is about identifying the option that resides in water. Let's briefly examine each of these:

Poule: This is a French word for "chicken." Chickens are terrestrial birds that live on land. They do not live in water.

Poisson: This is the French term for "fish." Fish are aquatic animals, which means they live in water. They have gills that allow them to breathe underwater. This is the option that resides in water.

Chat: This means "cat" in French. Cats are typically land animals and do not live in water. They are known to dislike being in water.

Chien: This is the French word for "dog." Dogs are also land animals, although some breeds enjoy swimming. However, they do not live in water.

Therefore, it is clear that the option that resides in water is "poisson", as fish are aquatic creatures that live in water environments such as lakes, rivers, and oceans.

The sentence given is "Le sport." We're trying to complete or evaluate the sentence with a choice that appropriately defines what "Le sport" typically refers to. In French, "Le sport" translates to "The sport" in English and generally refers to any kind of athletic activity or physical competition.

Looking at the options:

• Le basket-ball (Basketball)
• Le football (Football/Soccer)
• Le rap (Rap - which is a genre of music)
• La natation (Swimming)

Both "Le basket-ball" and "Le football" are traditional sports since they involve physical activity, rules, and competitions. Similarly, "La natation" (swimming) is considered a sport. However, **Rap** does not fit the category of sport as it is a genre of music, involving lyrical and rhythmic artistry. Therefore, it does not involve **physical activity** in a context similar to sports.

Thus, if you need to choose the option that does not belong with the theme of "Le sport," you would choose **Le rap**. The rest are types of sports. Remember, the key characteristic of sports is **physical activity, competition, and structured rules**, which does not align with music genres.

In the given sentence, "C'est la robe de ma sœur," we are referring to **a dress that belongs to my sister**. The key here is to identify the gender and the pronoun that appropriately replaces the phrase "de ma sœur".

The noun "robe" is **feminine** and **singular**. Therefore, we need a possessive pronoun that agrees with this gender and number.

• Le sien: This option is **masculine singular** and does not match the gender of "robe".
• La tienne: Although this option is **feminine singular**, it means "yours" and not "hers".
• Le nôtre: This option is also **masculine singular** and means "ours". It does not match either the gender or the ownership.
• La sienne: This option is **feminine singular** and means "hers". It perfectly matches both the gender of "robe" and the ownership of "my sister".

Thus, the correct choice to complete the sentence is **"La sienne"**, as it appropriately indicates that the dress belongs to my sister while agreeing with the gender of "robe".

The phrase in French "L'endroit où l'on peut acheter des médicaments" translates to "The place where one can buy medicines" in English. Out of the options given, the correct place to buy medications is a pharmacie.

Let me explain further:

• Banque: This is the French word for "bank." A bank is a place where people go to manage their money, such as depositing savings or taking out loans. It is not where you buy medications.
• Hôpital: In French, this means "hospital." Hospitals are healthcare facilities where patients receive medical treatment, but they are generally not where you purchase medications directly. You might receive medication as part of treatment, but they are administered rather than sold in the traditional sense.
• Pharmacie: This translates to "pharmacy" in English. A pharmacy is specifically the place you go to purchase medications. Pharmacists are trained professionals who can provide both prescription and over-the-counter medications to customers.
• École: This is the French word for "school." Schools are educational institutions, and they do not sell medications.

In sum, if you are looking to buy medications, a pharmacie is the right place to go.

The correct answer to complete the sentence "La femme _ vient ici est belle." is qui.

To understand why "qui" is the most appropriate choice, let's break down the sentence:

1. "La femme" means "The woman" and is the subject of the sentence.

2. The phrase "vient ici" means "comes here."

3. The word that needs to complete the sentence is the one that links "La femme" to "vient ici".

Among the given options:

• "qui" is a relative pronoun used to refer to the subject of the sentence. It is used to link the subject to a verb or clause. In this case, it links "La femme" to the verb "vient".
• "ou" means "or" or where, which is not suitable as it does not serve as a relative pronoun connecting a subject to a verb.
• "que" means "that" or "which," but it is typically used as a relative pronoun for objects, not subjects.
• "dont" is a relative pronoun meaning "whose" or "of which," and is used when indicating possession or relation, but is not applicable in this sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "La femme qui vient ici est belle."

This translates to "The woman who comes here is beautiful."

To complete the sentence "Si vous cherchez un chien d'appartement, prenez...," we need to choose the most appropriate demonstrative pronoun. In this context:

1. **Celle**: This pronoun is feminine and refers to "the one." However, without any specification or context, it is incomplete for this sentence.

2. **Ceci**: This pronoun means "this," but it is neutral and does not appropriately refer to specific feminine nouns.

3. **Celle-ci**: This pronoun means "this one" (here) and is used to refer to something mentioned and nearby or presented as an option among others. It's a feminine singular form and suitable for referring to a specific apartment dog that is available or nearby in context.

4. **Celle-là**: This pronoun means "that one" (over there) and is used to refer to something mentioned but further away or less immediate in context.

Given the sentence context where someone is advised to take an apartment dog, the most fitting would be **celle-ci**, as it suggests a specific choice among potential options of dogs that are being referred to immediately.

In this sentence, we are working with a French construction where the father ("Le père") is talking to the children ("aux enfants"). The verb "parle" means "talks" or "speaks." We need to replace "aux enfants" which means "to the children" with an appropriate pronoun.

In French, when you want to replace plural indirect objects (in this case, "to the children"), the correct pronoun to use is **"leur"**. "Leur" is an indirect object pronoun for "them" when referring to more than one person.

Let's break it down further:

• **"En"**: This means "of it/of them" and is generally not used for people.
• **"Le"**: This is a direct object pronoun meaning "him" or "it" referring to masculine singular objects, not suitable for plural indirect objects.
• **"La"**: This is a direct object pronoun meaning "her" or "it" referring to feminine singular objects, also not suitable for plural indirect objects.
• **"Leur"**: This is the correct indirect object pronoun for "to them" and is used for plural nouns referring to people.

Therefore, the completed sentence should be: "Le père parle aux enfants. Il leur parle."

To determine the correct option for this question, we need to understand what an "optician" is and what services they provide. An **optician** is a professional who specializes in fitting and dispensing corrective lenses for the eyes. Typically, people visit an optician when they have issues related to their **eyes** or vision.

Given this explanation, we should associate going to an optician with eye-related concerns. The option that pertains to the eyes in the given list of options is **"yeux"**, which is the French word for **"eyes."** Therefore, the correct option here is **yeux** because one would go to an optician when they have problems with their eyes.

In French, possessive adjectives change based on the gender and number of the noun they are referring to. In the sentence "C'est non livre! C'est.?", we are talking about a book ("livre"), which is masculine in French.

Here’s what each option means:

• le miea: This is not a correct possessive form. The correct phrase should be "le mien" for a masculine singular noun.


• la tinne: This is an incorrect possessive form and also incorrectly uses feminine form "la" with a masculine noun.


• les tiens: This refers to "yours" in masculine plural form, while "livre" is singular.


• Je sien: This is incorrect due to "Je" being unnecessary and "sien" is not the correct possessive for the noun in question.

The correct possessive pronoun to fill in the sentence "C'est mon livre! C'est ___." is "le mien". It corresponds correctly with "mon livre" meaning "my book" to give "It's mine." in masculine singular form.

To answer this question, you need to understand family relationships:

"La soeur de mon père ou de ma mère" translates to "the sister of my father or my mother" in English.

Let's break it down:

• Father's Sister: Your father's sister is your aunt.
• Mother's Sister: Your mother's sister is also your aunt.

Therefore, the correct answer is "tante", which means aunt in English. This is because an aunt is defined as the sister of either of your parents.

When we think of transportation specifically on the sea, we are referring to a mode of transport that can efficiently travel over water. From the given options: metro, taxi, camel, and boat, the only one that aligns with this requirement is the boat.

A boat is a small to medium-sized vessel intended for travel on water. It can be powered by sails, engines, or even manual rowing, and it is designed to float and move across oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers. Boats have been historically used for fishing, transportation, and recreation. They are equipped to handle the various conditions found on water, whether calm or stormy.

In contrast, the other options mentioned:

• Metro: A form of urban railway network used for mass transit in cities, operating on land.
• Taxi: A land vehicle used for personal transport from one place to another within urban environments.
• Camel: An animal used traditionally for transport and travel in desert regions.

Thus, the correct answer for a means of transport on the sea is a boat.

To choose the most appropriate word to complete the sentence "Tu bois de la Limonade ___ ton anniversaire?", we need to understand the context and the meaning of each word:

• tous - This word means "all" or "every" in English. It is not the correct option because it would imply that "every" birthday involves drinking lemonade, which may not make logical sense in this context.
• chacun - This word means "each" in English. This also doesn't fit well in the sentence as it suggests drinking lemonade during "each" birthday individually, which is somewhat repetitious for this context.
• pendant - This word means "during" in English. This is the correct word to use because it indicates the action of drinking lemonade takes place over the duration of the birthday celebration.
• combien - This word means "how many" in English. It is not suitable for this sentence structure as it typically precedes a noun when questioning quantity.

The most appropriate word to complete the sentence is "pendant", because it emphasizes that the action of drinking lemonade happens during the time of the birthday celebration.

Detalles de la respuesta

The word "adresse" is the correct choice as it is an indication of someone's domicile or place of residence. In the context of identifying where someone resides:

Avenue: A street or broad roadway, often lined with trees, but not complete information about a person's location.

Adresse: This refers to the complete information for locating a person's residence or place. It includes details such as the **street number, street name, and possibly the city, postcode, and sometimes country.** An address provides the specific location of someone's domicile.

Pont: A bridge, which is a structure built to span a physical obstacle, like a body of water, road, or valley, **not used** for indicating a person's residence.

Carrefour: A crossroads or an intersection of streets, also **not typically used** as a way to indicate someone's residence.

Therefore, the **correct and complete** indication of domicile is adresse because it provides the precise location details needed for identifying where someone lives.

To complete the French sentence "Jear n'est pas encore arrivé, ____ en retard," we need to determine the correct subject pronoun that matches the context and the noun "Jear." In French, pronouns are used to replace nouns and must agree in gender and number. Here are the options explained:

• nous: This pronoun means "we" in English. "Nous" would not be suitable as we are talking about a single individual named Jear.
• il: This pronoun means "he" in English. "Il" is appropriate here if "Jear" is a male's name, as it agrees in gender and number.
• elle: This pronoun means "she" in English. "Elle" would be appropriate if "Jear" were a female's name, but given the likely context, "il" is more typical.
• ils: This pronoun means "they" in English, referring to a group that includes at least one male. "Ils" would only be appropriate if more than one person is being spoken about, which is not the case here.

Given that "Jear" is likely a male name and since the sentence refers to a single person, the best option to complete the sentence is the pronoun "il". Therefore, the completed sentence would be "Jear n'est pas encore arrivé, il en retard," meaning "Jear has not arrived yet, he is late."

In the French phrase "J'ai vu ____ le monde," we need to fill in the blank with a word or form of the word "tout" that correctly matches the context. The phrase translates to "I have seen ____ the world" in English.

Let's examine the four options:

• toute: This is the feminine singular form of "tout" and is used before a singular feminine noun. For example, "toute la ville" means "the whole city."
• tou: This form is incorrect and does not exist in the French language.
• toutes: This is the feminine plural form of "tout" and is used before plural feminine nouns. For example, "toutes les filles" means "all the girls."
• tout: This is the masculine singular form of "tout" and is used before a singular masculine noun, or can refer to everything/entirety.

In this context, "le monde" (the world) is a masculine singular noun. Therefore, the correct form to use is "tout." This would translate to "I have seen all the world" or "I have seen the whole world."

Hence, the sentence should be "J'ai vu tout le monde."

In the sentence "Elles achètent un cadeau_leur père," we need to choose the correct preposition that fits into the blank. The sentence translates to "They are buying a present_for their father." The key is to look for a preposition that appropriately indicates the recipient of the gift.

The French word "pour" is used to indicate the purpose or the recipient of an action. In this context, buying a gift for someone means they are the intended recipient. Therefore, the correct preposition to use is "pour."

So, the completed sentence is: "Elles achètent un cadeau pour leur père."

To understand why the other options do not fit:

• "parmi" means "amongst," and it would not indicate the recipient of the gift.
• "dans" means "in," which refers to location and not a recipient.
• "entre" means "between," and indicates something in relation to two entities, not a recipient.

Thus, the only preposition that fits the meaning of buying a gift for someone is "pour."

To determine which pronoun fits best in the sentence "Pendant les vacances______ allons visiter Toulouse," we must understand the structure and rules of French language pronouns in relation to verbs.

The verb phrase "allons visiter" is an indication of an action that will be performed by the subject of the sentence.

In this French sentence, the verb "allons" means "are going to" or "will" in English, and it is the first-person plural form of the verb "aller" (to go).

Therefore, the subject pronoun must be in first-person plural which corresponds to "we" in English.

Among the options provided, the pronoun **"nous"** is the correct choice because **"nous"** is the French pronoun that translates to "we" in English. It matches with the verb form **"allons"**, which is also first-person plural.

Thus, the complete sentence is: **"Pendant les vacances nous allons visiter Toulouse."**

The phrase "Les pays Africains" translates to "The African countries" in English. This implies that we are discussing countries located on the African continent. Among the options given, only Ghana, Benin, and Nigeria are countries located in Africa, while Italie (Italy) is in Europe. Therefore, **Ghana**, **Benin**, and **Nigeria** are the correct completions of the sentence because they are African countries, unlike **Italie** (Italy), which is not.

The correct option is la mer.

A fish, in general, lives in water environments. The term "poisson" is French for "fish." **Fish** are **aquatic** animals, meaning they live in water. The **sea** (translated as "la mer" in French) is a large body of saltwater that is home to various types of fish and marine life. On the other hand:

• Le désert refers to the desert, which is a dry, arid land area with very limited water sources, unsuitable for fish.
• Le ciel means the sky, where birds and aircraft move, but not fish.
• Le champ signifies a field, typically used for growing crops or grazing animals, not a place where fish live.

In the sentence "Je veux savoir ____ il a payé," we need to choose the word that correctly fills in the blank to complete the sentence in French. The sentence translates to "I want to know ____ he paid." Let's analyze the options:

1. "que": This translates to "that" in English. It is used to introduce a clause, but it doesn't fit in this context because it doesn't ask for any specific information.

2. "quel": This translates to "which" or "what" in English and is used to specify a noun in terms of kind or type. However, it is not used to ask about a price or amount, which is needed here.

3. "combien": This translates to "how much" or "how many" in English and is the best fit for this sentence. It asks for a specific quantity or amount, which relates directly to asking about the amount of money paid.

4. "dont": This translates to "whose" or "of which" in English and is used in relative clauses. It doesn't fit in this context either.

Based on the analysis, the most appropriate word to complete the sentence is "combien". So, the completed sentence is: "Je veux savoir combien il a payé," which means "I want to know how much he paid."

The sentence in French is translated to English as: "Of all these skirts, it is ___ I prefer?"

To complete this sentence, we are looking for a word that can refer to a singular noun, specifically "jupe" (skirt), which is feminine. The options provided are all forms of demonstrative pronouns, which are used to replace nouns when we want to avoid repetition.

The correct choice here is: **"celle-là"**.

Explanation:

• Celle: This is a demonstrative pronoun referring to a singular feminine noun. It means "the one" or "that one." By itself, it makes the sentence feel incomplete because it does not emphasize a particular skirt.


• Celle-là: This specifically means "that one" and refers to a particular skirt from a group that has been previously mentioned. It's used to differentiate a specific skirt among several options, which matches the sentence context perfectly.


• Celui-la: This is used for masculine singular nouns and does not fit with "jupe," which is feminine.


• Ceux-ci: This is used for masculine plural nouns and does not match the singular feminine nature of "jupe."

Therefore, the most appropriate word to complete the sentence is "celle-là", as it clearly denotes a specific skirt among the group, aligning with the need to express preference for one from a collection.

To determine the most appropriate completion for the sentence "C'est le stylo de__ami," it's essential to understand the context and the rules of French possessive adjectives. The phrase translates to "It's the pen of __ friend." In French, possessive adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify (which is "ami" in this case).

The word "ami" refers to a friend and is masculine and singular. Here are the options broken down:

• mon - This is the possessive adjective for "my" used with masculine singular nouns. Therefore, "mon ami" means "my friend."
• ses - This is a possessive adjective for "his/her" used with plural nouns, thus not suitable for "ami."
• tes - This is a possessive adjective for "your" used with plural nouns, thus not suitable for "ami."
• nos - This is a possessive adjective for "our" used with plural nouns, thus not suitable for "ami."

Given that "ami" is singular and masculine, the correct phrase is "mon ami," meaning "my friend." Therefore, the most appropriate option to complete the sentence is mon.

In French, verbs need to be conjugated to match the subject of the sentence. The verb provided here is "commencer," which means "to begin" or "to start."

The subject in the sentence is "Ils," which means "they." In French, the pronoun "Ils" takes a specific verb conjugation. For verbs ending in -er like "commencer," the form that matches "Ils" is different from other subjects.

The correct conjugation for "Ils" with the verb "commencer" is "commencent." This is because "commencent" is the third person plural form of "commencer," which is used with the pronoun "Ils" (they).

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Ils commencent leur travail après le match de foot." This translates to "They start their work after the soccer match."

The official language of the Republic of Benin is French. This choice is primarily because Benin was a former colony of France. During the period of colonization, the French language was established as the language of administration, education, and governance. Even after gaining independence, many countries, including Benin, retained the colonizing country's language as the official language. French continues to play a crucial role in government, business, and education in Benin. Therefore, the correct answer is French.
