What does 'el parque' mean in English?

  1. the garden

  2. the park

  3. the gym

  4. the river

The correct answer is: the park

The correct answer is indeed "the park." In Spanish, "el parque" directly translates to "the park" in English. The word "parque" refers to an outdoor area intended for recreation, relaxation, and play, typically containing grass, trees, paths, and sometimes attractions like playgrounds or fountains. The other options represent different places or concepts: "el jardín" translates to "the garden," which is a cultivated area for growing plants and flowers; "el gimnasio" means "the gym," a space for physical fitness activities; and "el río" means "the river," a natural watercourse. Each of these words describes distinctly different environments, highlighting the specific meaning of "parque" as a recreational area.
