What is the meaning of "Tardarse"?

  1. To take (time)

  2. To fear

  3. To request

  4. To suggest

The correct answer is: To take (time)

The chosen answer, "To take (time)," is correct because "tardarse" is a reflexive verb in Spanish that means to take time to do something or to be late. It reflects the idea of a duration of time spent on an activity or the delay in performing an action. The other options represent different verbs or meanings which are not applicable here. For instance, "to fear" corresponds to the verb "temer," "to request" is translated as "solicitar" or "pedir," and "to suggest" translates to "sugerir." These verbs convey entirely different actions and do not capture the essence of what "tardarse" signifies in terms of time. Thus, "to take (time)" accurately encapsulates the primary meaning of the verb.
