Explanation:
The translation of the conversation is:
- Hello, Juan, do you know María Luisa?
- Yes, she is my sister's friend.
- And do you know where he lives?

The use of verbs could be explained in the following guidelines:
- Conocer is a verb used to mention that someone knows a person or a first-hand place, that is, has spoken with the person or has visited the place.
- Saber is a verb used to mention that the noun has knowledge about something, which could have been learned through books, in school or other media.
For this reason, in all the occasions that it was about knowing people or places personally it was used "conocer" and in other cases "saber". The conjugation of these verbs in Present Tense is:
- Yo conozco/sé.
- Tú conoces/sabes.
- Usted conoce/sabe.
- Él conoce/sabe.
- Ella conoce/sabe.
- Ello conoce/sabe.
- Nosotros conocemos/sabemos.
- Ustedes conocen/saben.
- Ellos conocen/saben.
The identification of the response in each case was found taking into account the rules of use of the verbs and the personal pronoun that conjugates each verb.
