What does "Romper" mean?

  1. To fix

  2. To break

  3. To replace

  4. To win

The correct answer is: To break

The correct meaning of "romper" is indeed "to break." This verb is commonly used in Spanish to indicate the action of causing something to no longer be whole or in working condition. For instance, if someone says "He roto la ventana," it translates to "I have broken the window." The usage of "romper" highlights its relevance in contexts involving physical objects as well as emotional or abstract concepts, such as breaking an agreement or trust. The other options represent different verbs with distinct meanings, which is why they do not apply in this context. "To fix" conveys the action of repairing something, "to replace" refers to substituting one thing for another, and "to win" indicates achieving victory in a competition. Each of these verbs serves its own specific purpose but does not align with the meaning of "romper."
