This question in incomplete because the verb is missing. Here follows the complete question: Complete the following statements about Teresa’s family by writing the correct form of the verbs in parentheses. Be sure to use the correct reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nos, os, se.)
19. Pero mi madre está en el baño y ella tarda mucho (takes a long time) en ____________________ (maquillarse).
The correct form of the reflexive verb in this case is maquillarse. As the verb is used after the preposition "en", it must be in the infinitive form "maquillar" with the reflexive pronoun "se" attached to it. Reflexive verbs in Spanish are used to indicate actions that are performed on oneself. In this case, "maquillarse" means "to make up herself." The reflexive pronoun and the subject of the sentence agree in gender and number. Therefore, as the subject is "mi madre/my mother", the reflexive pronoun "se" is attached to the verb to agree with the 3rd person singular (maquillarse a sí misma/ a ella misma).
