    Correct Answer
    A. When talking about a person
    Explanation
    The personal "a" rule applies when talking about a person. In Spanish, the preposition "a" is used before a direct object that refers to a specific person or persons. This is done to show respect or to indicate that the person is the direct recipient of the action. For example, "Veo a Juan" (I see Juan) or "Conozco a María" (I know María). However, the personal "a" is not used when talking about animals or objects, only when referring to people.

    Correct Answer
    A. Attached to the front of the conjugated verb
    Explanation
    In a sentence, the direct object can be attached to the front of the conjugated verb. This means that the direct object comes immediately before the verb in the sentence structure.

This question helps identify the direct object, which is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. By asking this question, you can determine the word or phrase that directly follows the verb and functions as the direct object.
