'Conocer' means which of the following?

  1. to come

  2. to know (meet)

  3. to do

  4. to leave

The correct answer is: to know (meet)

The verb 'conocer' means "to know" in the context of being acquainted with someone or something, or "to meet" someone for the first time. This usage emphasizes familiarity or personal experience rather than knowledge or understanding, which distinguishes it from other verbs that express knowledge. In contrast, the other options do not align with this meaning. "To come" refers to arriving at a place, "to do" relates to performing an action, and "to leave" indicates departing from a location. Each of these verbs has distinct meanings that do not convey the familiarity or introduction implied by 'conocer.' Therefore, "to know (meet)" is the optimal choice as it accurately captures the essence of the verb 'conocer.'
