What does the verb "Prometer" mean?

  1. To promote

  2. To protect

  3. To promise

  4. To recognize

The correct answer is: To promise

The verb "prometer" means "to promise." This word is derived from the Latin term "promittere," where "pro" means "forth" and "mittere" means "to send." Therefore, it carries the implication of making a commitment or assurance to do something in the future. In various contexts, it can be used to express hope or intention regarding actions or behaviors. The other choices, while they represent valid Spanish verbs, do not align with the meaning of "prometer." "Promote" would be translated as "promover," "protect" corresponds with "proteger," and "recognize" translates to "reconocer." Understanding the specific meanings and derivations of these verbs is important for grasping their uses in Spanish.
