To match each sentence with the correct preposition to complete it, let's analyze the context and determine the appropriate usage of "por" or "para":
1. Mi suegra llamó a su hermana ___ teléfono.
- Here, the sentence refers to the means of communication. In Spanish, "por" is often used to indicate how communication is conducted.
- Correct match: D: por: communication
2. Viajaste a Tegucigalpa ___ un mes.
- This sentence expresses the duration of the travel. "Por" is used to describe the length of time or duration something happens.
- Correct match: A: por: duration
3. Yo volaba ___ Madrid cuando me llamaron del hospital.
- This sentence indicates the destination of the flight. In Spanish, "para" is used to express the end goal or destination of an action.
- Correct match: C: para: destination
4. Conchita, ___ tu mamá es menos incómodo viajar por avión.
- Here, the sentence conveys an opinion. In Spanish, "para" can be used to attribute an opinion or judgment to someone.
- Correct match: B: para: opinion
Putting it all together, we assign the prepositions as follows:
1. Mi suegra llamó a su hermana por teléfono. (D: por: communication)
2. Viajaste a Tegucigalpa por un mes. (A: por: duration)
3. Yo volaba para Madrid cuando me llamaron del hospital. (C: para: destination)
4. Conchita, para tu mamá es menos incómodo viajar por avión. (B: para: opinion)
Thus, the correct matches are:
- Match 1: "D: por: communication"
- Match 2: "A: por: duration"
- Match 3: "C: para: destination"
- Match 4: "B: para: opinion"
