Which of these verbs means "to have left over"?

  1. Recurrir

  2. Sobrarse

  3. Enrollar

  4. Comenzar

The correct answer is: Sobrarse

The verb "sobrarse" means "to have left over" or "to be left over" in Spanish. This verb is specifically used in contexts where something remains after a portion has been taken or used. For example, you might say, "Me sobra comida," meaning "I have food left over." This conveys the idea that there is an excess or surplus of something. The other verbs do not convey this meaning. "Recurrir" means "to resort to" or "to turn to," which pertains to seeking help or assistance. "Enrollar" translates to "to roll up" or "to wind," and is used in physical contexts. Lastly, "comenzar" means "to begin" or "to start," which is completely unrelated to the idea of having something left over. Thus, "sobrarse" is the verb that accurately reflects the concept of excess or what remains.
