Which term represents 53 in the material’s numbering?

• A. Setenta y tres
• B. Sesenta y tres
• C. Treinta y tres
• D. Cinquenta y tres

Answer: (D)

Numbers are read as tens plus ones. Fifty plus three makes 53, so the term that expresses this amount is Cinquenta y tres. The other options correspond to seventy-three, sixty-three, and thirty-three, which are not 53.
