Which pair of verbs correctly completes this sentence? ana y marta muy elegantes y para ir a la fiesta. se despiertan, se duchan se visten, se maquillan se peinan, se cepillan se preparan, se duchan

The correct verbs are:

These verbs in spanish are respectively translated to:

This is a sentence written in simple present tense with the 3rd person in plural they, because Ana and Martha are the subject ellas (they).

Note in spanish the verbs must be conjugated according the subject of the sentence.

In this case, the verb vestir (to dress up) is translated to:

(Ellas) se visten

They dress up

And the verb maquillar (to make up) is translated to:

(Ellas) se maquillan

They make up (themselves)

Therefore the sentence is written as follows:

Ana and Marta dress up very elegant and make up to go to the party

The other options are incorrect, because:

- se despiertan, se duchan are translated to:

they wake up, they take a shower

- se peinan, se cepillan are translated to:

they comb their hair, they brush their teeth

- se preparan, se duchan are translated to:

they prepare, they take a shower

As we can observe, these verbs do not match with the context of the sentence

y ahora me estoy dando cuenta

ah, so ustedes and nosotros are my 'go-to' if i am using spanish mainly in the states? interesting, but still slightly confusing, haha."

it seems that you are a little confused about subject pronouns. yo=i, tú/usted=you, nosotros=we, ustedes=you(plural), ellos/ellas=they.

in the case of vosotros, it is an informal replacement for "ustedes" in spain. similar to using "you all" in english.

even though it is not generally used in conversation outside of spain, it is used many times in literature. i would suggest having at least some familiarity to that form, at least to recognize what it is.
