Hints for this Quiz

Tip: 0 and 10 are extremes: 0 = nada, 10 = muchísimo. Numbers 0–10: cero… diez.
Correct answer: "un poco" ~ 2/10 = mild pain (dolor leve). In a Spanish-speaking medical consultation with adults they normally use "usted" ("le duele"), so the question sounds formal.
Intensity from lower to higher: leve < moderado < intenso.
8/10 is high pain: intense. The phrases "dolor intenso" and "me duele mucho/muchísimo" express strong pain.
The word "nada" = not at all / nothing.
0/10 — there is no pain: "No me duele nada".
moderado = medium in intensity.
5/10 — medium pain: "dolor moderado". It’s useful to keep the numbers 0–10 (cero… diez) in mind.
Remember: doler works like gustar: me duele (sing.), me duelen (pl.).
7/10 — strong pain: "dolor intenso". The structure "me duele + artículo + parte del cuerpo" (without possessive pronouns) is the norm.
mucho/muchísimo are intensifiers of pain intensity.
"muchísimo" = very strong; on the scale this is about 9/10.
Plural: me duelen + (parts in plural).
3/10 — mild pain: "leve". Notice the verb form: muelas (plural) → "me duelen".
0 = nada, 10 = muchísimo (maximum).
10/10 — maximum pain. Natural options are: "Me duele muchísimo" or "Es un dolor muy intenso".
