Peleones vs Peleonas

Hola Jon P.
The reason the correct answer is "peleonas" and not "peleones" has to do with agreement in gender and number.
In the sentence "¡Qué ______ sois vosotras dos!", the word “vosotras” refers to two females, so any adjective that describes them must be feminine plural.
-
"Peleón" is the masculine singular form.
-
Its feminine singular is "peleona", and the feminine plural is "peleonas".
-
The masculine plural would be "peleones".
That’s why the sentence correctly reads: "¡Qué peleonas sois vosotras dos!".
You're absolutely right that peleón is the base adjective — but in Spanish, adjectives ending in -ón do change form to match gender and number.
Hope this clears things up!
Saludos
Silvia
