Answer:

The pairs that are false cognates is:

  • 4) computadora - computer.

Explanation:

Cognates are words that are written the same or very similar between two languages and that mean the same or refer to the same, so false cognates are those that are written the same but do not refer to the same, in the case of the word "computadora," its correct English translation is "laptop," since the word computer regularly refers to the desktop computer you have, and laptop to the laptop that is usually called "computadora."
