Choose the best Spanish equivalent to the phrase.I got a new pair of shoes for Christmas last year.

“I got” describes a completed event at a specific time in the past, “last year,” so Spanish uses the preterite tense. “Recibí” is the preterite form of recibir for “I received/got.” Therefore, “Recibí un nuevo par de zapatos para Navidad el año pasado” is the best choice. “Recibía” is imperfect and usually describes an ongoing or habitual past action.
