Which of the following best represents 'to ask for' in Spanish?

Pagar
Pedir
Parecer
Ocurrir

The correct answer is: Pedir

The phrase 'to ask for' is best represented by the verb 'pedir' in Spanish. This verb is specifically used in contexts where one is requesting something, whether it be an object, a service, or information. For instance, when someone orders food at a restaurant, they are asking for it, which would be expressed using 'pedir' (e.g., "Voy a pedir una pizza" translates to "I am going to ask for a pizza" or "I am going to order a pizza"). The other options represent different actions. 'Pagar' means 'to pay,' which does not convey the idea of requesting something. 'Parecer' means 'to seem,' referring to perception rather than a request. 'Ocurrir' translates to 'to occur' or 'to happen,' which also does not relate to asking for something. Therefore, the verb 'pedir' is the one that aligns perfectly with the meaning of 'to ask for.'
