Hints for this Quiz

Event / occasion → "asistir a".

"asistir a" = to attend / to be present at an event (parade, concert, meeting). "atender a" = to attend to / take care of / serve people. Here we are talking about a parade, so we use "asistir a".

People as those being served (customers, patients) → "atender a".

In a shop, the employee "atender a los clientes" — to serve the customers. "asistir a" is used for attending events, so it does not fit here.

If you can rephrase it as "to be present at…", choose "asistir a".

A procession is an event. The correct option is "asistir a la procesión". "atender a" means to attend to people, and "mirar a" is stylistically unnatural here.

Care, help, service directed at people → "atender a".

The nurse takes care of the patients: "atender a los pacientes". This is care/service. "asistir a" is for attending events, not people.

With "reunión" (meeting) we use "asistir a". The preposition "a" is obligatory: "asistir a la reunión". The forms without "a" are incorrect in this meaning.

Class/lesson = event → "asistir a". Customers/patients = people → "atender a".

Correct: "asistir a la clase" — to attend the class. "Atender la clase" with the meaning "to attend" is incorrect; "asistir a los clientes" sounds unnatural, we normally say "atender a los clientes".
