Fill in the blank with the French verb that best completes the following sentence. Marianne ____ a pretty girl.

The sentence needs the French verb meaning “to be.” The infinitive être is conjugated as est for Marianne, so the completed French sentence is “Marianne est une jolie fille” (“Marianne is a pretty girl”). Lire means “to read,” and boire means “to drink,” so neither fits.
