Monica __________ telenovelas todos las noches. (ver)

Correct Answer
ve

Explanation
The correct answer is "ve" because it is the correct conjugation of the verb "ver" in the present tense for the third person singular pronoun "Monica". In Spanish, when conjugating regular verbs ending in -er, like "ver", for the third person singular pronoun, we drop the -er ending and add -e. Therefore, "ve" is the correct form of the verb "ver" for "Monica" in this sentence.
