Translate 'esta tarde' to English.

  1. This afternoon

  2. This night

  3. This evening

  4. Last afternoon

The correct answer is: This afternoon

The phrase 'esta tarde' translates to 'this afternoon' in English. The word 'esta' means 'this', and 'tarde' refers to 'afternoon'. In the context of time, 'tarde' is used specifically for the period of the day that follows midday and extends until evening. Therefore, the correct translation captures both the temporal aspect and the immediacy indicated by 'esta', making "this afternoon" the most accurate choice. Other options do not align with the meaning of 'tarde'; for instance, "this night" and "this evening" refer to times that occur later in the day, while "last afternoon" pertains to a previous time, which does not correctly reflect the present context of 'esta'.
