Read the sentence and choose the option that best answers the question.
los voluntarios de la comunidad tiran o reciclan la basura para el supervisor del comedor comunitario.
which pronoun would you use to replace the direct object in the sentence above?
la
le
les
los

The correct option is LA.

Explanation:

In Spanish, the word basura which means garbage is feminine and is introduced by the indefinite article una and the definite article la.

When it comes to direct objects, we use either lo or la, depending on the grammatical gender of the word. Masculine nouns use the direct object pronoun lo while feminine nouns use la.

Here we have a feminine word basura introduced as a direct object, therefore we must use the pronoun LA.
