Fill in the blank in the following sentence with the appropriate verb below.En 1990, nous _______ un grand piano.A.aviezB.avionsC.avonsD.étions

To determine the appropriate verb form to fill in the blank, we need to analyze the subject "nous" (we) and the context of the sentence. The year "1990" indicates that the action took place in the past.

Considering the possible options:

1. A. aviez (imperfect tense, 2nd person plural)
2. B. avions (imperfect tense, 1st person plural)
3. C. avons (perfect tense, 1st person plural)
4. D. étions (imperfect tense of "être", 1st person plural)

Analysis of Options:

• The verb "avons" (C) is in the perfect tense which is appropriate for indicating a completed action in the past.
• The verb "avions" (B) is the imperfect and suggests an ongoing past state or action, but "nous avions un grand piano" would imply possession rather than an action of obtaining or playing.
• "Étions" (D) is also in the imperfect tense and means "we were," which doesn’t fit the context of having or playing a piano.
• "Aviez" (A) is not correct as it is 2nd person plural (you).

Final Answer:

Therefore, the correct verb to fill the blank is C. Nous avons un grand piano.
