  1. to take a shower

  2. to stand up

  3. to take a bath

The correct answer is: to stand up

The correct answer is B. "to stand up". In Spanish, the verb "levantarse" literally translates to "to lift oneself", and it is commonly used to refer to the action of standing up or getting out of bed. Option A, "to take a shower", is not accurate for "levantarse". The verb for taking a shower in Spanish is "ducharse". Option C, "to take a bath", is not the correct translation for "levantarse". The verb for taking a bath in Spanish is "baƱarse". Option D, "to brush", is also not the correct translation for "levantarse". The verb for brushing in Spanish is "cepillarse". Therefore, the best translation for "levantarse" into English is "to stand up".
