Choose the best translation of the following sentence. Can I speak with Jean?

“Can I speak with Jean?” asks whether the speaker is able to speak with Jean, so French uses pouvoir (“can” or “be able to”). In a formal question with inversion, “je peux” becomes “puis-je,” giving “Puis-je parler à Jean?” Choice B, “Peux-je,” is not the standard form used in this inversion.
