Which verb translates to "to take (time)"?

  1. Superar

  2. Tardarse

  3. Traer

  4. Suceder

The correct answer is: Tardarse

The correct answer is indeed "tardarse." This verb specifically means "to take (time)" in the context of how long something takes or to be late. For example, you might say, "Me tardo una hora en llegar," which translates to "I take an hour to get there." The other verbs have different meanings that do not relate to the concept of taking time. For instance, "superar" translates to "to overcome," "traer" means "to bring," and "suceder" means "to happen" or "to occur." None of these options convey the idea of duration or the passage of time in the same way that "tardarse" does, making it the most fitting choice for this question.
