Which of the following translates to "to resort to"?

Recurrir a
Reir
Romper
Referirse a

The correct answer is: Recurrir a

The phrase "to resort to" in English closely aligns with the Spanish expression "recurrir a." This verb phrase is commonly used when someone turns to a certain method or option for assistance or as a solution, often in times of difficulty. For example, one might say "recurrir a la ayuda" which means "to resort to help." The other options do not convey the same meaning. The verb "reir" means "to laugh," which does not relate to seeking assistance. "Romper" translates to "to break," indicating a physical action unrelated to resorting to something for help. Lastly, "referirse a" means "to refer to," which is about pointing out or indicating something rather than seeking a solution. Therefore, "recurrir a" is indeed the correct choice.
