- A.
Spiritosa -estroversa
- B.
Spiritosissimo - estroversa
- C.
Spiritosi - estroverse
- D.
Spiritoso - estroversa
Correct Answer
D. Spiritoso - estroversaExplanation
The correct answer is "spiritoso - estroversa". In Italian, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "papa`" (dad) is a masculine singular noun, the adjective "spiritoso" (funny) must also be masculine and singular. On the other hand, "mamma" (mom) is a feminine singular noun, so the adjective "estroversa" (outgoing) must be feminine and singular.Rate this question:

Therefore, the sentence is saying "my professors are nice."Rate this question:
