Translate 'el lago' to English.

  1. the forest

  2. the city center

  3. the lake

  4. the church

The correct answer is: the lake

The phrase 'el lago' translates to 'the lake' in English. This is because 'el' is the definite article for the masculine singular noun in Spanish, which corresponds to 'the' in English, and 'lago' means 'lake'. Hence, when combined, 'el lago' directly translates to 'the lake', making the correct answer the most accurate translation. The other options do not reflect the meaning of 'lago', as they refer to completely different nouns in English.
