1. <u>Right answer:</u> me
An Indirect Object Pronoun is a person that receives the action of a verb indirectly. Its purpose is to tell you <em>to whom</em> or <em>for whom</em> something is done. We can see the different forms of indirect objects in Spanish in the Table below. So, making some changes we have:
<em>Juan </em><em>me</em><em> compra helado </em>
<em>A mis hermanas y a mí </em><em>nos</em><em> gusta pizza</em>

<em>No me importa</em>
Here the action is being performed <em>for me. </em>So, <em>me </em>is the indirect object pronoun. Importa is the correct conjugation of the verb importar in this context.
10. <u>Right answer:</u>
