What is the English translation of the Spanish word 'Calcetines'?

• A. Coats
• B. Jackets
• C. Pants
• D. Socks

Answer: (D)

Calcetines are worn on the feet, inside shoes, to keep feet warm or comfortable. The English translation most commonly used is socks. The other options refer to garments for other parts of the body (coats and jackets for the upper body, pants for the legs), so they don’t fit this word. For example, “Me pongo calcetines” means “I put on socks.”
