What does 'parecer' mean in English?

To seem
To refuse
To obtain
To give

The correct answer is: To seem

The verb 'parecer' in Spanish translates to 'to seem' in English, conveying the sense of perception or appearance. It is often used to express an opinion or observation about how something appears to be. For example, if you say "Me parece que va a llover," it means "It seems to me that it is going to rain." This highlights the verb's function in providing an impression or judgment regarding a situation or condition. The other choices represent different verbs with distinct meanings: 'to refuse' relates to the action of saying no, 'to obtain' refers to acquiring something, and 'to give' indicates the act of providing or supplying something to someone. Each of these has no connection to the concept of appearance or perception that 'parecer' encapsulates.
