What does 'tocar' mean in English?

  1. To touch; to play (instrument)

  2. To exercise

  3. To go

  4. To like

The correct answer is: To touch; to play (instrument)

'Tocar' means 'to touch' or 'to play (an instrument)' in English. Option B, 'to exercise', is incorrect because while it's true that 'tocar' can mean 'to play (a sport)', in this context we are specifically talking about 'tocar' meaning 'to play (an instrument)'. Option C, 'to go', is incorrect because it is a completely different verb, 'ir', in Spanish. Option D, 'to like', is incorrect because the correct verb for 'to like' in Spanish is 'gustar'. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
