What is the English translation of 'empezar/comenzar'?

to laugh
to start/begin
to dance
to write

The correct answer is: to start/begin

The phrase 'empezar/comenzar' translates to 'to start' or 'to begin' in English. Both 'empezar' and 'comenzar' are commonly used Spanish verbs that convey the idea of initiating an action or process. This makes option B the correct choice. The other options provided do not align with the meaning of 'empezar/comenzar.' For instance, 'to laugh' refers to expressing joy or amusement, 'to dance' pertains to moving rhythmically to music, and 'to write' involves forming letters or symbols to communicate. Each of these actions has a distinct meaning and does not relate to the concept of starting or beginning something.
