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

• A. Shoes
• B. Stockings
• C. Socks
• D. Boots

Answer: (C)

This tests translation of a common clothing item from Spanish to English. Calcetines are the items you wear on your feet inside shoes. In English, the standard word for that is socks. They’re usually worn in pairs and made from cotton, wool, or synthetic fabrics to absorb moisture and keep feet comfortable. The other options refer to different items: shoes and boots are types of footwear, while stockings are leg hosiery that covers more of the leg rather than just the feet. So the best translation is socks.
