How do you say 'the subway' in Spanish?

El carro
El barco
El metro
La bicicleta

The correct answer is: El metro

The correct answer is indeed "el metro," which directly translates to "the subway" in English. This term specifically refers to the underground or elevated rail system used for mass transportation in urban areas. The other options do not translate to "the subway." For instance, "el carro" means "the car," referring to a personal vehicle, while "el barco" means "the boat," which is used for traveling on water. "La bicicleta" translates to "the bicycle," a form of transportation that is human-powered and not related to rail systems. Thus, "el metro" is the appropriate choice when referring to subway transportation.
