Explanation:

Nationalities in Spanish must agree in number and gender with the nouns they are modifying. In sentences one and five, the suffix -a describes a singular femenine noun. In sentences two and four, the suffix -o refers to a singular masculine noun. Meanwhile, the suffix -es in sentences three, six, seven and eight is neutral and refers to plural nouns, both femenine and masculine.
