What is the Spanish word for 'the river'?

  1. el río

  2. el centro de la ciudad

  3. el pueblo

  4. la iglesia

The correct answer is: el río

The correct translation for 'the river' in Spanish is "el río." This term is straightforward, with "el" indicating that it is a masculine noun, and "río" meaning 'river'. The other choices do not relate to 'the river'. "El centro de la ciudad" translates to 'the city center,' referring to an urban area. "El pueblo" means 'the town,' identifying a community or settlement, and "la iglesia" translates to 'the church,' which is a place of worship. Each of these options represents a different concept and context compared to 'the river.'
