How to complete the sentences?

Let's analyze each sentence, so we can conclude what is the correct option for each.

First:

"Viajamos a Santo Domingo ____ Autobús"

This is translated roughly to:

"We travel to Santo Domingo ___ bus"

So the correct option here is D) "por", used to define the type of transportation used

"Viajamos a Santo Domingo __por__ Autobús"

The second sentence is:

"Conchita, ________ tu mamá es menos incómodo viajar por avión."

"Conchita ____ your mother is less awkward traveling in-plane"

This is an opinion, we would complete this as:

"for your mother is less awkward..."

So the correct preposition is the one in option A, Para.

"Conchita, __para__ tu mamá es menos incómodo viajar por avión."

The third sentence is:

"No tengo dinero para viajar por avión; _______ eso viajo por carro."

The translation is:

"I don't have money to travel in a plane: ____ that travel on the car"

Here we would complete this with for or because of, and this is a reason of why someone does not travel by plane, here the correct option is B, por.

"No tengo dinero para viajar por avión; __por__ eso viajo por carro."

The last sentence:

"Yo volaba ________ Madrid cuando me llamaron del hospital."

The rough translation is:

"I was flying _____ Madrid when they called from the hospital"

Here we would complete it with To, referring to the destination, so here the correct option is C, "para"

"Yo volaba __para___ Madrid cuando me llamaron del hospital."
