Looking at Juan in the family tree, I can see he is the son of Clara and Pablo, who are Isabel's parents. This makes Juan Isabel's brother. Since Juan is a male and singular, the correct demonstrative pronoun to use is "Éste" (this one).
The relationship is "hermano" (brother).
Now I have all the information needed to complete the exercise.
Based on my analysis of the family tree, here are the completed statements:
1. For Luis: "Éste es mi abuelo." (This is my grandfather.)
2. For Elena: "Ésta es mi tía." (This is my aunt.)
3. For Eva: "Ésta es mi prima." (This is my cousin.)
4. For Juan: "Éste es mi hermano." (This is my brother.)
The selection of the correct demonstrative pronoun (Éste/Ésta/Estos/Estas) depends on the gender and number of the person being referred to:
- Éste (masculine singular)
- Ésta (feminine singular)
- Estos (masculine plural)
- Estas (feminine plural)
Since all four individuals in this exercise are singular (one person each), we only need to consider whether they are masculine or feminine.
