Answer: C - The word comprender means to understand something after watching, listening to, or reading it. Hence, response C, entender (“to understand”), is the best synonym. Response E, desentender, is the exact opposite of the correct answer; in fact, it is entender, but with a negative prefix added to it, thus giving it the meaning of “to misunderstand.” Responses A, B, and D (“to respond,” “to verify,” and “to pretend”) are completely unrelated to the meaning of comprender.
