Explanation:
Unlike English, Spanish is a pro-drop language. This means that it is possible to omit the subject since it is easy to recognize through the verb inflection. Spanish is a very inflective language.
To solve this exercise, it is necessary to change the subject for the ones in brackets, paying attention to the verb-subject agreement.
"Ellos, yo, and tú" can be omitted without altering the meaning of the sentence. It is not the case of "mi tía", because it depends on the context. In other words, observing the verb inflection, we see that it is the third person singular, hence, "mi tía" can be replaced by "ella or él". That is why, it is not advisable to omit the subject "mi tía".
