Ella (almorzar) =
Explanation
The correct answer is "almuerza" because the verb "almorzar" is conjugated for the third person singular form in the present tense.

The correct answer is "podemos" because "nosotros" is the subject pronoun for "we" in Spanish, and the verb "poder" means "to be able to" or "can."

Carolina (dormir) =

So, "duerme" is the correct form of the verb "dormir" for Carolina.

Is poder an o-ue verb?

Poder is indeed an o-ue verb in Spanish. This means that in its present tense conjugation, the o in the stem changes to ue in all forms except for nosotros and vosotros. For example, the present tense conjugation of poder is yo puedo, tú puedes, él/ella/usted puede, nosotros/nosotras podemos, vosotros/vosotras podéis, and ellos/ellas/ustedes pueden. This change in vowel is a characteristic feature of o-ue stem-changing verbs in Spanish.
