Answer :

To match each sentence with the correct word or phrase, we need to carefully consider the context and meaning of both the sentences and the terms provided. Here is a detailed, step-by-step solution to determine the matches:

1. Match the sentence: "La esposa del rey Eduardo era Catalina, paciente."
- Here, the keyword is "esposa del rey," which translates to "wife of the king." This indicates that Catalina holds a royal title. Out of the given terms, the term that matches this description is "una reina" (a queen). Thus:
[tex]\[ \text{Match 1:} \quad \text{una reina} \][/tex]

2. Match the sentence: "En su niñez, Estela leía cuentos de con su príncipe azul."
- The phrase "en su niñez" refers to a childhood memory involving "príncipe azul" (prince charming). Typically, tales that include a prince charming are fairy tales about princesses. Therefore, the appropriate term to fit this context is "princesas" (princesses). Thus:
[tex]\[ \text{Match 2:} \quad \text{princesas} \][/tex]

3. Match the sentence: "La princesa tenía"
- This phrase suggests that the princess possessed something or someone that helped her. In a fairytale context, princesses often have magical helpers, such as a fairy. The correct term for this is "un hada" (a fairy). Thus:
[tex]\[ \text{Match 3:} \quad \text{un hada} \][/tex]

4. Match the sentence: "La bruja usaba en la torre."
- This phrase involves a witch and something she used, likely as part of a spell or enchantment. In fairy tales, witches often use magical spinning wheels or spindles, also known as "husos" in Spanish. Hence, the correct term is "un huso" (a spindle). Thus:
[tex]\[ \text{Match 4:} \quad \text{un huso} \][/tex]

Summarizing the matches:

- La esposa del rey Eduardo era Catalina, paciente. → una reina
- En su niñez, Estela leía cuentos de con su príncipe azul. → princesas
- La princesa tenía → un hada
- La bruja usaba en la torre. → un huso

Thus, the final matches are:
[tex]\[ \begin{align*} \text{Match 1:} & \quad \text{una reina} \\ \text{Match 2:} & \quad \text{princesas} \\ \text{Match 3:} & \quad \text{un hada} \\ \text{Match 4:} & \quad \text{un huso} \end{align*} \][/tex]
