Correct Answer
C. Jugar

Explanation
The given answer "Jugar" is the correct answer because it is the Spanish word for "to play."

Explanation
The correct answer is "Parar" because it means "to stop" or "to block" in Spanish. The other options, "Correr" (to run), "Atrapar" (to catch), and "Pelota" (ball), do not have the same meaning as "Parar" and are not related to stopping or blocking.

Correct Answer
B. Jonrón

Explanation
The word "Jonrón" is the correct answer because it is the Spanish translation of the term "Homerun". In baseball, a homerun refers to a hit that allows the batter to circle all the bases and score a run. "Encestar" means to score in basketball, "Platillo" means dish or plate, and "Lanzar" means to throw. Therefore, "Jonrón" is the most appropriate term related to the concept of a homerun.

Explanation
The correct answer is "Devolver". In Spanish, "devolver" means to return something, typically to give back an item that was borrowed or to return something to its original place. This word is commonly used when talking about returning books to a library, returning a product to a store, or giving something back to its owner.

It is the structure where players attempt to score by kicking the ball into it. The other words listed, "Empatado" means tied or draw, "Ganar" means to win, and "Lanzar" means to throw. However, "Portería" is the only word related to the goal or scoring in soccer.
