Zorluk: ZorSentence Structure and Relative Clauses

A formal economic report contains the following sentence detailing a recent corporate acquisition:

"La corporación multinacional acaba de adquirir varias instalaciones tecnológicas, para ________ modernización se destinará una parte significativa del presupuesto anual."

Which of the following correctly completes the sentence, maintaining both grammatical accuracy in the relative clause and the appropriate formal register?

  1. A
    que su
  2. B
    cuyas
  3. cuyaCevap
  4. D
    las cuales

Cevap

The correct answer is 'cuya', which correctly expresses possession and agrees with the singular feminine noun it precedes.
The correct answer is the relative adjective that expresses possession ('whose') and correctly agrees in gender (feminine) and number (singular) with the noun it modifies, which is 'modernización'. In Spanish, relative possessive adjectives must always agree with the possessed noun that follows them, not the antecedent that precedes them.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the grammatical role required in the blank space.
The sentence requires a relative possessive adjective to connect the antecedent 'instalaciones tecnológicas' with the noun they possess, 'modernización' (meaning 'for whose modernization').
To indicate that the modernization belongs to or pertains to the newly acquired facilities.
2
Analyze the agreement rules for the Spanish relative possessive adjective 'cuyo'.
Unlike the English word 'whose', the Spanish word 'cuyo' must agree in gender and number with the noun it directly precedes (the possessed item), not the antecedent (the possessor).
Spanish relative adjectives function syntactically like standard descriptive adjectives, modifying the noun that immediately follows them.
3
Apply the agreement rule to the specific nouns in the sentence.
The noun following the blank is 'modernización', which is feminine and singular. Therefore, the correct form is the feminine singular 'cuya'.
Matching the gender (feminine) and number (singular) of 'modernización' ensures grammatical accuracy.
4
Evaluate the distractors for secondary grammatical errors, particularly verb mood.
Inserting the literal translation 'que su' creates the conjunction 'para que'. This conjunction mandatorily requires a following verb in the subjunctive mood. Since the sentence uses the future indicative 'se destinará', this option is mathematically impossible.
To eliminate grammatically flawed literal translations and verify mood consistency across the clause.

İpuçları

1
Identify what is being possessed or acted upon in the second clause. Who or what does the 'modernización' belong to?
2
Remember that the Spanish word for 'whose' acts like an adjective. What noun does it need to agree with in gender and number?
3
Look closely at the verb 'se destinará'. It is in the indicative mood. If you choose an option that creates the phrase 'para que', what mood would the verb need to be in?

Alternatif Yöntem

You can solve this by elimination: first, cross out options that disrupt the noun phrase syntax, then check the verb mood of the remaining options to eliminate false conjunctions like 'para que'.
