Answer:
The correct conjugation in the conversation is:
- Manuel: ¿Ustedes estudiaron economía en la universidad?
- Elena: No. Yo estudié literatura, y Rafael estudió filología.
Explanation:
The translation of the conversation is:
- Manuel: Did you study economics at the university?
- Elena: No. I studied literature, and Rafael studied philology.
In Spanish, the Preterite form of the verb "estudiar," depending on the personal pronoun is:
- Yo estudié.
- Tú estudiaste.
- Usted estudió.
- Él estudió.
- Ella estudió.
- Nosotros estudiamos.
- Ellos estudiaron.
How the first blank has the personal pronoun "yo," the conjugated form must be "estudié," and how the noun of the second blank is Rafael, it can be replaced by the personal pronoun "él" and the correct conjugation for that personal pronoun is "estudió."
