Explanation:
In this activity we have to choose between the verb "ser" or "estar" to complete the sentences. "ser" and "estar" can be both translated as "to be" in English, so in order to know which one to use, we have to understand when to use each.
"Ser" is used to talk about things like people's names, physical and personal characteristics, nationalities, occupations, the place of origin of someone or something, personal relationships; also to refer to days, dates, years and time on the clock. Therefore, options 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 are with the verb "ser".
"Estar" is used to talk about the position, location, temporary states, physical and mental conditions and emotions. So 1, 5, and 7 use the verb "estar"
