Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is B) -Pedí camarones. This is because the question "¿Qué pediste en el restaurante?" is asking what "you" (informal singular "tú") ordered in the restaurant in the past tense. The verb "pedir" (to order) is a stem-changing verb in the present tense, but in the preterite tense, the change is reflected differently. The correct conjugation for "yo" (I) in the preterite tense is "pedí," making "Pedí camarones" the grammatically correct response.
