Answer:
The right adjective that could fill the blank is:
- Un hombre de negocios <u>exitoso</u>.
Explanation:
Firstly, the translation of the sentence is:
- A <u>successful</u> businessman.
The adjective <u><em>"exitoso"</em></u> in each of its forms (depending on whether the noun is singular or plural and masculine or feminine), is regularly linked to a person, when applied to a tangible or intangible things (in this case negotiations) it is usually more explicit, perhaps it would be better written if it had been:
- <em>Un </em><em><u>exitoso</u></em><em> hombre de negocios</em>.
Organizing the adjective before the noun, as in English, however, the option <em><u>"exitoso"</u></em> is correct because that phrase is often used in Spanish.
In addition, the grammar can be verified since each of the adjectives provided in the options apply for a specific type of noun as shown below:
- <em>Exitoso
:</em> Noun male and singular.
- <em>Exitosa
:</em> Noun female and singular.
- <em>Exitosos
:</em> Noun male and plural.
- <em>Exitosas:</em> Noun female and plural.
How <em>"</em><em>un hombre de negocios"</em> or <em>"a businesman"</em> is a male and singular noun, the right adjective that applies in Spanish is <u><em>"exitoso"</em></u>.
