We have to put the words listed together in a way that makes sense.

There is not much to say here, we just have to associate logically:

|Answer|Letter|Number|
|–|–|–|
|**(1,f)** |1. estrofa |a. corriente artística |
|**(2,a)** |2. cubismo |b. obra de teatro |
|**(3,c)** |3. tela | c. pince!|

|**(6,h)** |6. novela policíaca | f. verso|
|**(7,d)** |7. artesanía |g. realismo |
|**(8,g)** |8. realista |h. género literario |

**HINT:** *In case you are not able to associate correctly, you can try to join ideas that are similar to each other.*

With the words in the table, we have to complete the sentences.
