Which of the following translations is correct for 'elegir'?

  1. to choose

  2. to elect

  3. to select

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

All of the options 'to choose', 'to elect', and 'to select' are suitable translations for the Spanish verb 'elegir'. While 'to choose' is a more general translation, 'to elect' carries a political connotation and is typically used to refer to voting for officials. 'To select' implies a more deliberate, careful process of selecting. So, while all three options are technically correct, 'to choose' may be the most commonly used and versatile translation. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
