The Spanish verb 'trabajar' means what in English?

  1. to travel

  2. to work

  3. to wander

  4. to study

The correct answer is: to work

The Spanish verb 'trabajar' translates to 'to work' in English. This is the most appropriate translation because the word 'trabajar' specifically refers to doing labour or performing a job. While the other options may have a similar sound or meaning in English, they do not accurately convey the meaning of the Spanish verb. For example, 'to travel' would be translated as 'viajar' in Spanish, while 'to wander' would be 'vagar' or 'deambular'. 'To study' would be 'estudiar' in Spanish. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect translations and B is the correct answer.
