During an interview, a reporter questions a Spanish film director about details of his new movie. Identify which sentence correctly uses the interrogative pronoun.

The use of interrogative pronouns in Spanish not only involves grammatical knowledge but also the ability to apply them reflexively and critically in the interpretation of literary texts. Below is a fragment of the poem 'Canción de otoño en primavera' by the modernist poet Rubén Darío, where the interrogative pronouns have been omitted. Your task is to identify the missing pronouns and justify your choice in the context of the poem, considering the meaning of each verse. Additionally, relate the absence of these pronouns to the theme of the poem, which addresses melancholy and the transience of time. Explain how the presence of interrogative pronouns in the poem would contribute to the understanding of the atmosphere and emotions evoked by the author. Finally, discuss the importance of selecting the appropriate interrogative pronouns to convey the depth of poetic feelings in the context of literary modernism.

During a multidisciplinary class that addresses both the Spanish language and contemporary Latin American history, students are invited to analyze a speech excerpt from the socialist leader and president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, delivered during the celebration of the bicentennial of the independence of several Latin American countries. The speech, rich in linguistic and historical elements, contains a series of interrogative pronouns that address crucial social, political, and economic issues in the Latin American context of the time. Considering the strategic use of these pronouns to instigate the audience to reflect on the reality of the region, identify in the provided speech excerpt the interrogative pronouns and, based on the historical context, analyze the impact that the use of these pronouns can have on civic engagement of citizens and social mobilization in favor of a particular political vision.

Political debates in Latin America tend to be intense and, at times, marked by rhetoric and dialectics. In a democratic society, the right to question the actions of the government and its officials is crucial, and the correct use of interrogative pronouns becomes essential to formulate precise questions that demand clear answers and transparency in public management. Considering a scenario where students participate in a debate with a senator about the distribution of resources in education, drafting direct and incisive questions for the public representative, how could students use interrogative pronouns in Spanish to inquire about the specific destination of a budget allocation aimed at improving school infrastructure in a particular region?

In the context of contemporary Hispanic literature, the use of interrogative pronouns not only serves to inquire about unknown information, but also functions as a creative tool through which authors explore social, personal, and philosophical themes. In a recent play focusing on the cultural identity crisis of youth in modern society, the author extensively uses interrogative pronouns to reflect the constant search for meaning and belonging. These pronouns, inserted into dialogues and monologues, generate a sense of unease and reflection in the viewer, who is forced to confront the same questions as the characters.
