Explanation:<u></u><u>The word "reloj" in Spanish means "clock" in English.</u> This is the word that fills in the blank because the incomplete sentence in Spanish ("El _______ indica 9:05") can be translated as "The _______ marks 9:05".<u> "Reloj" collocates with the verb "marks" and, most importantly, it is related to the context of the sentence</u>. In contrast, the other options could not fill in the blank because they would not add coherence to the sentence ("semáforo" is "traffic light", "maleta" is suitcase and "carro" is car).
