Question

You would say ¿cuántas? when referring to ______ ?

chico
chica
chicas
chicos

Answer 1

Answer: C. Chicas

Explanation:

When you fill the blank with chicas, it looks like this: ¿Cuántas chicas? You would not use any other term because the word cuántas is plural and feminine.

If it was a masculine or neutral term, it would be "¿cuántos?".

If it was a singular term, it would not exist because the word "cuántas" or "cuántos" means "how many".

Therefore, the answer is C.

Answer 2

The answer is C. Chicas

Explanation:
For chicos it would read ¿Cuántos Chicos?
¿Cuántos? Means how many & can be referring to males. This eliminates A & D. Chica is singular, meaning one. So B, is not the answer.
¿Cuántas? would be referring to females.
