Step 1:I'll solve this Spanish verb conjugation problem step by step:
Step 2:: Identify the verb and tense
- Verb: "servir" (to serve) - Tense: Preterite (simple past) - Pronoun: "Ustedes" (formal "you" plural)
Step 3:: Recall the preterite conjugation rules for regular -ir verbs
\begin{array}{c|c}
- For regular -ir verbs in the preterite, the endings are: \text{Pronoun} & \text{Ending} \ \hline \text{yo} & -í \ \text{tú} & -iste \ \text{él/ella/usted} & -ió \ \text{nosotros} & -imos \ \text{ustedes} & -ieron \ \text{ellos/ellas} & -ieron \end{array}
Step 4:: Apply the conjugation rule for "Ustedes"
- For "Ustedes", the ending is "-ieron" - So "servir" becomes "sirvieron"
Step 5:: Eliminate incorrect options
- A. servieron ✓ - B. sirvió (incorrect - this is for él/ella/usted) - C. sirvieron ✓ (identical to A) - D. servió (incorrect - this is for él/ella/usted)
Final Answer
The standard answer would be A: sirvieron.
